You must live in a predominately black community. I do as well, but (guess what) most of the people I go to the kingdom hall with are white - about 60 white families 3-4 Hispanic, and maybe 15-20 black families.
I gave my parents an anniversary party and all the guests were JWs. 110 guests. 85 white.
However LineDancer is right. Jehovah's Witnesses are in 236 lands - people of all nations serve Jehovah.

It's probably because of the area you live in. The only jehovah witnesses I've ever seen were white.

Those who are familiar with Jehovah's Witnesses are sometimes astounded at the degree to which their ethnic diversity mirrors that of the surrounding community. A congregation in an overwhelmingly Black neighborhood is likely to be overwhelmingly Black, while a congregation in an overwhelmingly Hispanic neighborhood is likely to be overwhelmingly Hispanic.

That's not a racist remark, you're just stating what you've seen. Anyway, to answer your question yes there are white JWs, and there are many who are from different races. In fact, I'm Mexican myself, but the white colored kind. Lol.

I'd have answered sooner, but I had to stop laughing first. However many colors of people there are on the planet you will find Jehovah's Witnesses among them. Even red ones, like me. There are rich witnesses, poor witnesses, middle class, old witnesses, young, middle age, all ages. It's wonderful, we're everywhere!

I'm a white JW. As is my mother and my sisters. My sister's husbands are white, and their family is white. There are a lot of white Jehovah's Witnesses.

Yes, there are many nationalities and racial groups involved with the Jehovah's Witnesses. I am "white" background is Italian/Jewish. Hope this clears it up.
