Is it true that skin color was not a consideration in the Roman Empire?

It wasn't because most Romans wouldn't consider even other Italians citizens.

The group that was most reviled in Roman society was Gauls, who we nowadays would call French/German.
>>3074192
Yes the Roman Empire was the height of tolerance. A golden age of humanity.
>>3074213
As time went on, the definition of "Roman Citizen" was slowly expanded, until the logical conclusion was reached when Emperor Caracalla decreed that every free man living in the Empire was a roman citizen.

They seemed to hate germanic/gaulic/steppe people a lot so they probably discriminated them a lot too.
>>3074192
Culture was more important. The Greeks thought the same too.

Germans yes, but Gaul became a central part of the Empire, and Senators from Gaul were quite quickly inducted, albeit those senators were Roman immigrants. Over time, they intermarried with the local gallic population, but still continued to send senators to Rome.

I guess it depends on the time frame.
In empire that large, you're probably gonna have to deal with a few brown people.

No, punics were hated above all else. Jews too. Gauls got fully integrated and accepted, jews never were.
Disgusting piss hair germs would have been killed or enslaved on sight and rightfully so.
Niggers would have been good for a laugh unless they killed or raped people in which case off to the chopping block.

Romans were olive skinned to White. They weren't as Brown as Indians, for example.
