I think that when it is said that we were created in God's image, it simply means that God has two feet, two hands with opposable thumbs, stands somewhere between five and six feet tall etc.
After all, we also all have different eye colors and hair colors, and I don't think anybody claims that God's eyes are every color all at once.
By the way, if you look at Christian art from Africa, you will see that God and Jesus are depicted as being black. Hey, why not? Jesus came from the Middle East, so he certainly wouldn't have looked like a pale white guy.
