Possibly a stupid question here, but the Christian God is usually shown as being white. And it says "we were created in Gods image" or "God Created us in his image". So then what about Brown people, Black people, And Asians. We all look significantly different.

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.

You are probably refering to the picture of Jesus, which doesn't even fit his description in the bible... Truth is we don't know what God himself looks like.

Its pretty funny that you mention that though. At my church when you walk in there are 6 different big drawings of Jesus taken from all over the world put on the wall. (above where you enter the sanctuary from the lobby) Its put there to prove a point, we don't know what he looked like exactly, and it doesn't even matter.
