Or are you trying to say that people back then didn't discriminate based on skin color? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] masquenox@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago that northern Europeans didn’t exist 2000 years ago? "White" is an invented thing - and a pretty recent one, too. There is no such thing as a "white" race - not today, nor 2000 years ago. It only exists in the head of a person that has been taught to see the world through the lens of white supremacism - ie, "scientific racism" - which we are almost all subjected to from birth no matter our (supposed) "race." permalink fedilink source parent
