Certainly long before the Louisiana purchase, and other westward expansion. Russia is less of a prison of nations that the US is.

yeah but those boxes weren't racial in the modern sense as for example the Romans believed that by gaining Roman citizenship people in Africa would become Roman and no less Roman than another Roman citizen from Europe or even the Italian peninsula.
the idea of heritable race not based on identity or tribe but genetic difference is relatively new

i don’t really think the last two points you guys made negate each other tbh. the “inherited supremacy” shit was more of like a precursor to modern racist ideology, and aristotle definitely wasn’t referring to “white” people or “black” people as the concepts of white, black, other races, didn’t exist the way they do now.
