Not entirely moot, I'd say. There was a time once when the paragons of
the civilized world did battle with hulking, blue-skinned, devil-possessed
barbarians in the far Northwest of the known world. Folks who did not fall
when pierced with a sword, and who charged, screaming, into the ranks of the
"civilized" soldiers.

And even in such times as that, the Romans still discriminated against the
Greeks, one of their ethnically closest peers...
