The bible is very unclear about swarthy people. For instance Bathsheba was swarthy, which made Solomon Bi-racial.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

Does it matter?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Pretty sure everyone mentioned in that text was "swarthy" by our standards.....those standards being translucent skin with piercing blue/grey eyes and platinum hair.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Why would you go out of your way to describe someone as swarthy when everyone is swarthy?

This^.

That's like expecting a book written in Ireland to start out, 'John was very pale...'
