Esau
Esau. Genesis 25:25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
One day when Esau returned from a hunting trip, he was extremely hungry. Jacob had just finished cooking some red stew, and when Esau came in, he smelled the stew and wanted some. Jacob made Esau swear his inheritance rights to him before he would give him anything to eat.
That answer is partly correct and misleading. At that time there was no classification of "middle eastern" and Ishmael was the pro-generator of the Palestinian / Assyrian or Arab peoples. Esau was was born red and hairy. The reason he was called as red is because his blood showed through his skin. Esau was white with red hair. What happens to white people in the beaming sun? They don't turn black...they get RED. Esau's characteristics are mentioned in Genesis because he was a fraternal twin of Jacob and born differently then the rest of the people in Genesis (black or negroid). Esau is known of the land of Edom and the descendant of the Edomites. The Edomites are strongly suspected to be the cavemen of the caucus mountains of Georgia/ Russia (hence "Caucasian)as well as the Greeks and Romans. Concluding that yes, Esau was white. youtube.com/watch?v=CBn5lmHt6tI

ESAU was the firstborn of Isaac and Rebekah; the twin brother of Jacob and the forefather of the Edomites. He was given the name Esau because of his unusual hairy appearance at birth, but he got the name Edom (meaning "Red") from the red lentil stew for which he sold his birthright.-Ge 25:25, 26, 30.
Esau was older than Jacob. Esau was born first, with Jacob being his younger twin brother.
