The concept of racism didn't exist in 1st Century Judea

The concept is as old as mankind. Details (replace 'race' with 'guy from next tribe', same concept) or it's name maybe not.

    That's called bigotry or jingoism, depending. Racism is a distinct flavor, and much like "Orange didn't exist as a color before the 15th century," there lacked the basic concept of a race as determined by skin color vs other identifiers such as language, city-state-affiliation, or religion.
