Huh, this is really interesting. I really try not to identify with any race, simply because any race comes with it's archetypes and preordained notions. Likewise, when the main character of a book or any storytelling media, the Bible included, doesn't have a race the reader can project much of himself onto the character. The more vague the character, the more the character is just a projection of the readers. A poster boy for our own demons to use as an actor. A scapegoat almost, for instance if one was racist how hard is it to justify it with "Jesus wouldn't like blacks", and likewise with any issue, from rape to homophobia to education to taxes. It's the reason why there are so many branched of Christianity, and why they are so polar from each other. From Christian Anarchism to the more imperialistic Catholicism, for example. It's really scary.
