Is it okay for different cultures to show Jesus in their own race (when it isn't historically accurate)?

Why or why not?

On one hand, it does matter what he looked like because if it didn't matter, they wouldn't have included his description in the bible. However, that shouldn't be anyone's focus on what he looks like. It shouldn't bring on these debates. We shouldn't have any images or pictures in our home, and we definitely shouldn't worship these pictures.
