The majority of the priestly class of Levitical Jews have a European haplogroup. These Levites were an elect class of priests who descend from Levi who was one of Israel's 12 sons. Since the Levites were an elect class withing the Kingdom of Judah. Intermixing would be less. They would stick to their own and interbreed in a similar way that the elite faimilies of Europe have been interbreeding throughout the centuries. Therefore, they provide an interesting and revealing look at who these Levites were originally from a racial perspective.
"A 2003 study of the Y-chromosome by Behar et al. points to multiple origins for Ashkenazi Levites, a priestly class who comprise approximately 4% of Ashkenazi Jews. It found that Haplogroup R1a1a (R-M17), uncommon in the Middle East or among Sephardi Jews, originating in Central Asia and dominant in Eastern Europe, is present in over 50% of Ashkenazi Levites."

The only Eastern European peoples who have a higher rate of haplogroup R1a1a are the Poles link. This confirms that white people are indeed the Lost Tribes of Israel. It also confirms that Eastern Europeans, rather than just only the Western Europeans are also Israelites.
