This is how Jesus is described in Islam: "I saw Jesus, a man of medium height and moderate complexion inclined to the red and white colors and of lank hair"

Try that prompt in various models (remove the part saying it's Jesus) and see what comes out.

> how Jesus is described in Islam

You seem to be quoting Muhammed's alleged description of Jesus from the Quran [1], per--allegedly--Ibn Abbas [2], a man born over half a century after Jesus died.

    Presumably you mean the hadith, not the Quran, and half a millennium, not half a century? Regardless, I don't think it makes much of a difference to the point, which is that there's not one "historically accurate" Jesus that you can back out from 21st-century racial politics.
