No, William Shakespeare was a Caucasian/White English man. This is shown in portraits, and verbal and written descriptions of him. AnswerAs Shakespeare did not come from a noble background no portraits or pictures of him, or any members of his family, were commissioned. Neither is there any evidence that Shakespeare commissioned his own portrait or pictures in his later, prosperous years. There is no evidence that a portrait or pictures were ever painted of him while he was alive, nor is there any written description of his physical appearance.
Therefore, pictures and physical descriptions of him were made up at the makers' discretion. These makers were undoubtedly white. However, only a very extensive research would possibly unveil who the real Shakespeare was as far as physical appearance.
------
However, his background seems to indicate he was caucasian. There is no evidence provided to show anything but an Anglo-saxon heritage.
