Excellent point to show the WT teaching is spurious. Many Semitic people would be anointed. Northern Africans. Meditteranean. I believe siuch a distribution is not truly global. China. Japan. India. etc. the American Native Americans. Polunesians. The NT cast of characters is multiracial and multinational.

From my experience I would say there are two unspoken classes of "annointed." Please correct me if I am mistaken.
The first class is what I call the "accepted annointed" where no one questions their claim. These people are deemed "exemplary", have a sizable "spiritual resume" and have many options for promotion within the organization.
The second class is the "unaccepted/skeptical annointed." The Rank and File secretly question these people's claims as well as often suspect possible "emotional problems."
I don't have verification, but I have a hunch that the amount of "accepted annointed" ones of non-white origin increased as social prejudice went down over the decades since segregation was common.
