Helen Pluckrose added,
i think you wrote once that Othello was an evidence of how white supremacy was not the thing of the middle ages...did something changed?
Primarily, Europe stopped being the primitive backwater in the shadow of the Empires of the Ottomans and the Moors.
England was the primitive backwater to France, Italy, Spain, Portugal etc. Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the primitive backwaters to England.
Europe reconceptualised itself when it became the world power. Also, before this, religion was more central than skin colour.
Skin colour akin to customs, dress, diet etc. A feature of difference that could be sneered at but not key factor.
The Atlantic Slave Trade took off over the 17th century creating powerful new discourses around race which presented white as superior.
