      Race is subjective bullshit anyway, some people will see other very similar people and say “this person is nothing like me”.

      In fact most of my ancestors were genocided by people who looked exactly like my ancestors, but considered them different. Nowadays their grandchildren treat me like one of them, even though I look the same as my grandparents and they look the same as theirs.

      Earlier, it was also frequently more about “people that don’t believe in the same god(s) as me” or “people that don’t speak the same language as me”. It’s always been just the first reason to justify why the invaded are “lesser”.

      Idk, brits were happy to consider them barbarians and not good like them.

      And for a while Irish weren’t considered good whites just Irish. Same for Italians
