Do Buddha statues exist that portray Buddha as a person of white or European likeness? Where would I find them?
(Not sure what other than "white" or "European" to call it; you are free to correct me.)
If not, why not?
(I would like to explain in a few words why I am asking that question, but find it difficult to pin down the right words. It has something to do with the feeling of familiarity or likeness, and just plain fun of entertaining the idea that the Buddha can look like all the other people that are typically around me all day long. Plus, whatever drives people to make cover versions of songs, just seen as a "cover version" of the typical Buddha statue.)
EDIT: Replaced the word "caucasian" with "white", because this should be less offensive.

How about "white" or "white-skinned"? The term "Caucasian" comes from outdated racist terminology, I personally find it offensive.
