She looks sufficiently Persian to me (and sufficiently...many other things).Iranians can be white. Caucasian Mountains are just to their north and they are Indo-Europeans.
Pure blood Jews are less white, they are Afro-Asiatic, a totally different racial group they share with Arabs.
I'm a Tolkien AND racial scholar.
And I'm pretty sure Tolkien was going for a Middle Eastern aesthetic for the Easterlings who populated the areas east and northeast of Mordor.
