Never mind that ancient Egyptians were white. I suppose they could cast some blacks as Nubian slaves, but somehow I don’t think that would help.

Exactly. Weren't the Egyptians of Moses time (and before) called the Hyksos? They were reportedly Semitic. There likely were black Pharaohs long before 1,500 B.C. but I believe the Hyksos displaced them and held the reins for a few hundred years after Moses.

Egyptians were not racists—Some pharaohs were white, some were black but most were Hamic brown—skin color ment nothing to them—what they were interested in was which gods you bowed down too. Cleopatra was of Greek heritage—but spoke Coptic Egyptian, prayed to Isis, and dressed and ate like an Egyptian and was loved by most of her people for it.
