    extra, “Barbarian” was a roman term to make fun of people by the way of their language. Pardon my example, but that’s the same as calling Asia “Chingchong”. it was racist as fuck back in the Roman times, but because we forgot that meaning, so we still use it. and somehow the modern meaning of “Uncivilized violent dirty people’s” is even more racist than the Roman usage.
