Care to explain?

Why do I have to explain simple facts to you? Read some bloody Tacitus. Man had explicit and repeated things to say -- positive and negative -- about the innate qualites of different ancestral peoples. Roman cultural chauvanism for him was merely the logical extension of Roman ethnocentrism.

Also was no fan of the Jews and his description of their qualities states that they're racial. I don't know what fantasy books you've been reading but in no way were the Romans unaware of the different qualities certain groups posess.
