Hobab the son whose sister Zipporah Moses married: “Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, the father-in-law of Moses: ‘We are pulling away for the place about which Jehovah said.’”
ZIPPORAH
(Zip·po′rah) [Bird; or, possibly, Small Bird].
The wife of Moses. Zipporah met Moses at a well, when she and her six sisters were watering their father’s flocks. When certain shepherds came on the scene and, as was their custom, attempted to drive the girls away, Moses helped the girls out, even watering the flocks himself. For this kindness he was invited to the home of Zipporah, and eventually her priestly father Jethro gave her in marriage to Moses. (Ex 2:16-21) Zipporah bore two sons to Moses—Gershom and Eliezer.—Ex 2:22; 18:3, 4.

Firstly, we Jews are not a ' race '. There are Jews from every single ethnic group. We are a religion.
Moses was brought up in Egypt; I don't know who his wife was - shame on me, I should!
But yes, given that he grew up in Egypt it's possible he married a non Jewish woman.
Egypt was a nation of incredible sophistication and brilliance, and I think much of what Moses said and believed was coloured by the years he spent in Egypt.

Moses married and Ethopian. She must have been as fair skinned as Sarah.
When Mariam spoke against her, Num.12:1010; Mariam turned white as snow.
