        Not really… there was no such thing as “white” back then - which mean no “people of colour,” either.

        He would definitely be classified as such according to the totally rational race caste system we can’t seem to exist without today.

          Wait, are you trying to say that northern Europeans didn’t exist 2000 years ago? Or are you trying to say that people back then didn’t discriminate based on skin color?
