Other than Romans, are there any white people in the Bible?

Yes, everyone in the Bible is white. Or, maybe some people are. Or, on the other hand, no one is.

All of the above can be true because "whiteness" is a social construct, like other racial terms -- it has very little to do with someone's phenotype, and everything about how we code people in a system that grew out of the Atlantic slave trade starting in the 1500s. You can read more about this here:

but the tl;dr is that it's anachronistic to talk about "race" in the ancient world.
