| That's not correct. Long before the time of the Reconquista in Spain (15th C.), the Christians were hating on the Jews and the Moors, and that hate was very much based on cultural superiority. I suspect it goes back long before that and it was true many other places in Europe (Venice, Prague, Frankfurt, to name a few) in the 14th and 15th Centuries. And none of these had anything to do with conquest. I can't speak to the Egyptians in antiquity. | |

But they were also hating on lily-white Protestants, as demonstrated by the extension of the Inquisition into the Spanish Netherlands. But I wouldn't lump it under the heading of slavery, in any event. |

| We are getting pretty far afield here but let me just note that you are off by a couple centuries. On your other point, I thought we were talking about racism and that slavery was of course a sidebar to that discussion. Maybe I merged when I should have remained in a separate lane. :-) |
