The Egyptian is on the right. Quite accurately, he is depicted as darker than the "Lybian" (1st on left) or the "levantine" (3rd from left) but fairer than the "Nubian" (second from left).
Ancient Egyptians considered both Lybians and Levantines (Palestinians and Syrians) to be inferior to them. Quite often, both of them were under Egyptian hegemony.
So this is an example of a medium-dark skinned people (roughly equivalent to middle-dark curries) who did not worship whites.
NB: The "Lybians" of Egyptian times are the ancestors of North African indigenous populations known as Kabyles, Berbers or Amazigh. They have indeed quite fair skin and clear eyes today.
