What do you mean by "ethnic jew"? Jews come in every race and colour.

There are Ethiopian Jews, for example, but they're negroes and obviously not original Jєωιѕн stock.  By "ethnic Jew" I mean the Jews that descended from the original Twelve Tribes ... who were not of "every race and colour", but I suspect were uniformly White.

Where does this idea come from?
Moses was married to an Ethiopian woman.
I wonder about the Ethiopian sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah whom Phillip baptised..

Nowadays we tend to think Jews are white, but I think that is because the most prominent (seen on TV, newspaper, politics, courtrooms, Hollywood, are white. But most of those are αѕнкenαzιm who originate from around the Black Sea and converted to Judaism around 700AD. So it's not so simple as it looks at first.

Jews don't look like other Middle Easterners.  Ethnic Jews look white to me.  Since humanity began in the Middles East, it's possible that White Europeans are the descendants of Jews who left their homeland.
You have it backwards. Jews that look white(albeit they are still easy to recognise as Jews) are Jews whose ancestors lived in Europe and mixed with Europeans. 
However, if you look at people from the Levant, many of them that are quite pale. Bashar Al-Assad is pale and even has blue eyes for example. It is possible that before the Arabian(who are darker skinned) conquests of the region, many more people were pale and light-eyed. This is even more likely back in Our Lord's day because of mixing with Greeks and Romans. So Jesus' representation as white isn't all that inaccurate. The Shroud of Turin also closely matches the common representation of Christ.

Please identify what white is. Here's a few thoughts:

Southern Europeans, France/Spain/Italy/Greece are olive skinned

France, Spain, Italy, Greece have many people of Northern, European ancestry (Germanic tribes)

Then you have the Slavs of Northern Europe and the Turks and .....

Most Americans do not know what they are composed of.
Every people you listed bar the Turks are white. The Turks came from central Asia about a thousand years ago.

Turks (and Jews) are the tribe of Dan.

"When the great ruler exterminates the Turks almost entirely, one of the remaining Mohammadans will be converted, become a priest, bishop and cardinal, and when the new pope is elected (immediately before Antichrist) this cardinal will kill the pope before he is crowned, through jealousy, wishing to be pope himself; then when the other cardinals elect the next pope, this cardinal will proclaim himself Anti-pope, and two-thirds of the Christians will go with him.  He, as well as Antichrist, are descendants of the tribe of Dan (some say the Turks are the Tribe of Dan)." ~ St. Hildegard (d. 1179)
