White Jesus predates the '40s by quite a long way. European Christians have been depicting him that way for centuries. I’m pretty sure Americans had a white Jesus before then as well.
Sadly, it’s hard to find accurate depictions of Jesus in the western world.

i read that it was Da Vinci era likely due to instruction from the popes. some say Da Vinci’s depictions of Jesus were self portraits.
