1.  When did he do that? 

2. Morgan Freeman played his father though and nobody complained.

1. Shit, wrote the wrong actor.  That's on me for not correcting before replying. Replace "Mel Gibson" with, oh let's just spin the wheel instead of listing all possible candidates...Willem Dafoe.

2. Do you contend that the race was changed when Morgan Freeman played that role?

Well I doubt the father of a Jewish Galilean man was black :P jokes aside, I don't contend anything. Just pointed out nobody complained even though god the father has often been portrayed as a bearded white(ish) fellow.

I just thought your example of Jesus is kind a weak. How he's portrayed as a cultural and religious figure has evolved for centuries. Dafoe or Gibson with a beard and a long hair isn't too far-off the mark. If they made a movie with more historically accurate Jesus with a darker skin I doubt people would complain. Two different things. Dafoe and Scorsese did face plenty of critisism about the movie tho.
