Look up the word barbarian, doesnt it mean incivilied nomadic people? isnt that exactly whet they were?
Theyw ere evil because they love to rape and kill innocent people and that is hwy I hate them and If i had the chance I would slaughter them all.
Usually, what people don't understand they don't grow fond of. They even grow to hate it because they don't understand how another culture works.
Therefore the original meaning of 'foreign' can rapidly change into a more hostile interpretation.
But, if you're going to refer to 'barbarians' five or more centuries ago, you need to take into account what the word meant then, and not what it means now.
Secondly, it is now and will always be the case that the people who conquer a land or are now the current rulers that write the history books. History books are not objective, because the people who write them are not objective. They look upon certain people and/or events from their own cultural background and/or their own prejudices.
If you're going on about "raping and killing innocent people" you really should investigate the conquest of South America by the spanish/portuguese. It was one of the biggest genocides in the entire known history. Yet we do not consider the spanish or the portuguese barbarians. Why? Because they won. It's as simple as that. They won, and therefore the cultures they destroyed were considered inferior and it was not that big a deal that they were wiped out.
"Killing innocent people"
If you're going on about slaughtering an entire race based on the actions of certain individuals, that's just racism and you will be slaying innocents yourself. You can only judge an individual's behaviour, not the behaviour of an entire race. Everybody's different and nobody should be judged depending on their country, origins or their ancestors.
