I wonder how far many non-Jewish white people can really trace their ancestry. 

We are what we are.  Why obsess about something we can't control?
1550 for me, on fathers side. SuperGreatGrandfather came from German area, ended up in Briton and married a Brit, son came to America.  Majority of children named after tribes of Israel, firstborn always Joseph, until the last couple of generations.
Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the horn, and the people be not warned, and the sword do come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

Jews can be any skin color eye shape hair texture. 

Anyone sincerely converts to Judaism is as jewish as Moses.
If someone says something bad about you, say something nice about them. That way, both of you would be lying.

The original depictions of Jews vary, in the Egyptian art Jews are lighter than Egyptians but appear to be a brownish to olive tone likely a southern mediterranean people with Caucasoid features. In some depictions in the dura Europa's synagogue moses is depicted almost as black yet Abraham and others are depicted as white or in some cases olive,

Samaritans today look olive to white. Some Ashkenazi look dark and middle Eastern while some Sephardic can have blonde hair and blue eyes, some pure Arabs from Saudi Arabia can look white , I think its complex due to Israels location and a multitude of Egyptians and others came put with moses to Israel. There's also the case of some documented intermarriage with moabites and other people of the land and I'm sure during hellinization there was mixing with the Syrian Greeks. My guess is most Jews resembled Cypriots Greeks or southern italians with exceptions.
