No it was not, the concept of race was invented around this time. Perhaps you mean prejudice and ethnic sectarianism? That certainly existed. Race did not. Might behoove you to do some reading on this subject before pontificating with false confidence

Lol, now you are just arguing semantics.

The celts were considered a race apart from the anglo saxons.

The “race” part is essential to “racism”. This is not semantics this is purely the meat of the discussion
