Emperor Julian (362AD)
“Why do we not observe that it is their benevolence to strangers, their care for the graves of the dead and the supposed holiness of their lives that have done most to increase atheism [Christianity]... For it is disgraceful that, when no Jew ever has to beg, and the impious Galilaeans [Christians] support not only their own poor but ours as well, all men see that our people lack aid from us. Teach those of the Hellenic faith to contribute to public service of this sort.”

“...satisfied to assign ‘others’ the status of inferior beings. We make sure that they cannot live in our neighborhoods, get certain kinds of jobs, receive equal pay or honor; they must stay in their proper place, which is to say the place we have assigned for them.”
