Original Note:
Ancient Greece and Rome were diverse, and “whiteness” had no meaning then. Race is a modern concept. Yet the far-right pushes a myth of “Western civilization” as white, tracing a false lineage from Greece and Rome through medieval Europe to today. https://www.vox.com/2019/11/6/20919221/alt-right-history-greece-rome-donna-zuckerberg https://humanities.wustl.edu/features/kathryn-wilson-constructing-race-in-ancient-world https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_people https://www.learningforjustice.org/magazine/spring-2021/the-classical-roots-of-white-supremacy
