PC:Roman race-based slavery

And at some point, you have to admit that it is rather odd that pale green eyed freckled Gingers are the same race as tan dark haired/eyed Mediterraneans and pinkish blond haired blue eyed north Central Europeans but not the olive skinned dark haired/eyed North Africans.


What I actually find interesting is that Arabs consider themselves whites even though many in Western countries do not.

Still, another point that should be mentioned is that the Romans like most ancients intermarried extensively with other people. This was encouraged by the state which settled retired soldiers in faraway places where they would marry local women. It helped them Latinize the area. Also, Romans had many kids with sex slaves and prostitutes which would have produced half casts. These people were often accepted into Roman society. This is going to reduce the racial difference dramatically over time.
