No joke I’ve read multiple documents that argued the Roman Empire was too tolerant and allowed for too much ethnic mixing, which was why they thought Italians in the late 19th / early 20th century were a threat to white purity….
They were literally justifying their prejudice with history that was many centuries old. (Also how did none of them consider that the Roman Empire reached territories that would become Britain and France and Germany too? It’s not like their ancestors were somehow exempt from this supposed ethnic mixing.)

Good Morning #Canada
On the eve of #RemembranceDay, it's fitting that we wish a ##HappyBirthday to Charles Cecil Ingersoll Merritt, who was born on this day in 1908. Merritt was the first Canadian recipient of the Victoria Cross in #WWII, the highest award for bravery among troops of the British Empire. He was also the son of Captain Cecil Mack Merritt, who was killed in the Second Battle of Ypres on April 23rd, 1915. Merritt commanded The South Saskatchewan Regiment, Canadian Army, (Canadian Infantry Corps), and led his regiment at the failed Dieppe Raid on August 19th, 1942. He led multiple charges against fortified positions, was wounded twice, and stayed on the beach to defend his troops as they were withdrawn. He was captured by the Germans and remained a prisoner until the end of the war.
