Jesus had no genetic code from any sinful human. Like Adam, God made new flesh for Jesus and incarnated Jesus into Mary. It is fruitless and pointless to speculate on the skin color of Jesus. He is the I Am in human flesh.

But because no one made note of his skin color and went "Isn't this the guy who's related to us/lives over there?" We can assume if Jesus existed he'd look similar to the people he was around.
Though now I'm thinking of something like that raptor Archer episode where Jesus is just full blown glowing with a divine sheen and otherworldly aura but people don't react to it one bit.
And now raptor Jesus.

One of two things therefore destroy not only your entire 'argument' (check one):
[ ] You have no idea what genetic impact the initial fusion: then connection via the umbilical cord has over the developing fetus, including the whole religion-obliterating answer to this question: why are men born with nipples ? Ergo, why Mary is venerated by certain Christians
[ ] Jesus had two daddies
Choose wisely, OP.
"Death to Videodrome. Long live the new flesh."
So Jesus was really blue?
If his skin had a different color than that of those around him, don't you think that there'd be gospel commentary about it? Then you're probably right that there's no point in speculating about it, that his appearence was typical of the mid-eastern people of the place and time.
But there was no I Am movement in his time, so your argument is still revisionist syncretic cult doctrine. There was no knowledge of the genetic code back then either when propagandists wrote the gospels, so they didn't speculate about it. It was more important to them to attempt to tie him to the Davidic tradition.
Historians also know that if a historical Jesus existed the miracle stories are still legends. Yours would just be the continuation of a tradition of legends.
Confused?
