Moses married a black woman. His relatives complained, either because she was black, or because she was not of the Israelite people. In return, God turned those relatives’ (Miriam and Aaron) skin leporous. Leprosy gives pure white patches (most white people are pink, not white).

The implication seems to be that if they wanted to be white, God could make them really, really white.

Their leprosy ended when Moses asked God to forgive them.

So much for white or black or asian racism.

As well, the bible says God made us all of “one flesh”. That was doubtless just to avoid the kind of racism and darwinian claims to superiority that exist outside the bible.

“Moses married a black woman.”

You certainly cannot derive that from Biblical text.

Color is an interesting image.
In Indian paintings, if a person is "black" he is painted in the color BLUE. BLUE means black.
