[Boogieman]

“First, Joseph was sementic, ie an Arab for all intents and purposes, so are Arabs white guys?”

It all depends on how you define “white” I guess. They’re not East Asian, and they’re not sub-Saharan African, so they are “caucasian”. Probably not white enough to be members of the KKK or something like that though!

[Verginius Rufus]

Abraham went from Harran to the land of Canaan. Harran (Roman Carrhae) is in SE Turkey just north of the Syrian border...so in the same general area as the Caucasus. So the Hebrews should count as "Caucasians."

Interesting side note for the Afro-centrists who claim that the ancient Egyptians were black (like the Bantu-speakers of today)--St. Paul is mistaken for an Egyptian by the Roman commander (chiliarch) (Acts 21.37).
