No, that's actually exactly how religion works.
European mary is white because most Christians there are white.
Ethiopian mary is black because most of the Christians there are black.
Korean's have a Korean Jesus, and I'm assuming their mary similarly looks Korean.
In reality, if she ever existed, she would have look middle eastern.
The only time you see a disconnect there is when a religion was brought to a area by a outside influence (like European powers to much of Africa)
