No. Moses's wife Zipporah was a descendant of Abraham and Keturah. That family lived in Ethiopia - but this is a geographical description, not a racial one.

We know from the ancient writers that there were civilised white peoples living in Ethiopia at that time. [Diodorus Siculus describes the two types of Ethiopians](https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/3A*.html), drawing a stark contrast between the civilised nature of the white Ethiopians (who have kings, written languages, etc.) and the bestial nigger tribes:
> But there are also a great many other tribes of the Ethiopians, some of them dwelling in the land lying on both banks of the Nile and on the islands in the river [...] The majority of them, and especially those who dwell along the river, are black in colour and have flat noses and woolly hair. As for their spirit they are entirely savage and display the nature of a wild beast, not so much, however, in their temper as in their ways of living; for they are squalid all over their bodies, they keep their nails very long like the wild beasts, and are as far removed as possible from human kindness to one another
