        Paul is from Asia Minor so he arguably was Greek and therefore white. And obviously some of the bad guys like the Romans.

          The term only began to be used in the 1600s (for … reasons), but it seems Paul was born in what is now Turkey

            … before the turkic arrived so it was ethnically and culturally closer to Greece than to Turkey. Then again, he was an (ethnic) Jew. This was before nation states and the concept of race (and racism). I’m not going to die on any hill here, I could argue for many things.
