      Yeah, but if he existed he would almost certainly have been a person of color.

        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?

            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.

        Don’t forget the blue eyes and the flowing semi-golden locks.
