If you are referring to Abraham of the Biblical beginnings of the tribe of Israel, he is described as from Ur which is in Mesopotamia, making him Sumerian. If you were to use modern national terms of identity, he would be from Iraq!

Race is so unimportant. Skin color is only there because of the country a person is from.
I'd say he is a white man from USA.
