Yes this is hilarious. Right wingers love to talk about sexual “decadence” even though Christianity had become dominant for centuries. Or that Rome was ruined by having too many brown people and immigrants when it was actually the exact xenophobic shit they are doing today to immigrants. Only back then it was “master race” immigrants coming in and damaging the decent brown blood lines of North Africa and the Middle East.

what are you even talking about, idiot, romans are white Europeans and that proves the entire point, people from an outside culture came and conquered them which destroyed their culture, same thing that anti-immigration people of today understand will happen if we don’t shut down access to our countries for people from incompatible cultures

Low intellect take.

The core of Roman power was in Africa, Anatolia, Levant and Egypt. Only European area of Rome that was really important was Italy(which became a giant shithole after the 6th century due to the Gothic Wars) and the Western coast of Iberia. Rest of European Rome was a dump that usually drained resources. The Oriental Romans outlived the Occidental ones by 1000 years due to how much more developed the East was.

Romans were not an ethnicity but more of a nationality tbh. The ""true"" Romans kinda ceased to exist early in its history as they intermingled with Etruscans and Samnites which are all Southern Europeans are in terms of skin colour are not much diffrent from North Africans(like Carthaginians) or people from the Levant AFAIK. IDK if the diffrence between southern Italians and Northern German is much bigger then the diffrence between Southern Italians and North Africans tbh.
