>>50093730>they had male-male sexThat's not true.
If a man was caught having anal sex with another man, there was a good chance they would be ostracized or worse yet, executed.
Look up the word thopeuo ("I flatter" according to The Syntax of Apollonius Dyscolus)
>>50093861Europeans used blacks as slaves because they considered them animals at best, or objects at worst.
Ancient Greeks also had slaves. The difference is that the ancient Greeks did not have slaves from one particular race, tribe, or region. Slaves were either indebted people that could not pay (hence Greeks could also become slaves to other Greeks), or enemies captured in wars.
>>50093801Let's not play with words.
I'll give you the following explanation to how I perceive racism:
Let's assume a black family moves in an all-white neighborhood.
A racist would immediately attack them verbally, most likely also physically. He might do them harm, or cause damage to their property, in an attempt to force them out of the neighborhood.
A xenophobe will just ignore the black family. He will not go over to their house to welcome them, and he will most likely instruct his children to stay away as well.
He will not harm or attack them. He will just keep his distance.
A "normal" person will welcome the family. Most likely take his own family and go over to meet them, and have coffee or dinner.
Let me know what you think, and in case you insist that the label of racist does not apply in the example I just presented, how would you describe each person using your own definitions.
