    Instead of POC, I think the closest equivalent to a modern circumstance would probably be part of a repressed majority, like apartheid South Africa or British India.

    He was obviously a POC, but it wouldn’t have the same social implications it does today. He did live in a Roman province where locals had inferior rights to Roman citizens. I think it’s a more historically accurate (but probably less useful) parallel for this post.
