The characters on the right are (written right to left, top to bottom) "denki ANMA fukkatsu", meaning "electric(al) ANMA revival".
The weird part is the "electrical ANMA", in Japanese it means to step on a guy's crotch and shake your foot. Basically a nut-stomp.
Why it's being used on the front of a package of Doritos, I have absolutely no idea. That's just the Japanese way.

I got to thinking about this. I guess this would depend entirely on how "white" you would have considered the Romans and Greeks of Biblical times. In the Old Testament, all its events happened in and around the Middle East, involving middle eastern and north African people, none of which we would in modern thought consider to be white. In most of the New Testament, again the people involved were middle eastern people, mostly. Jesus, the apostles, the Roman guards (probably of provincial origin), Paul (Jewish, but had Roman citizenship from his father), all middle eastern. The Galatians were originally a Gaulish people, likely white(-ish), but we don't meet any of them. The only person that was clearly *not* of middle eastern origin is Pontius Pilate, a Roman. As governor of Judea, he seemed to have come from an equestrian class of Roman citizenship, basically from the higher middle class of Rome. But was he white skinned, blue eyed, and light haired, we have no way of knowing.
Race is a relatively modern concept, and the Romans, like most ancient people, really didn't regard it and skin color as having much importance. Most ancient people thought of themselves and others in terms of family and national groupings: either you were in a certain group, or not. People typically did not marry outside their general group, but rape and sexual work would have produced mixed genetic people, and they would have been considered outside the group. After the breakup of the western Roman empire, Italy got swept over by various peoples and was often depopulated. New people would move in and mix with the survivors, and the old groupings would have eventually failed, except as a faint memory.
