So called "based" libertarian cartoon (no "based" cartoon would be so diverse)

Christianity is a universal religion, but that doesn't mean Christianity does away with all truth, or dissolve all national boundaries, or remove the truth about race.
Do you think Galatians 3:28 does away with men and women, too? Or do you only use verses like that to argue it does away with race and ethnicity?
Axiomatically, 'truth' is not 'removed'.
But I have a hard time believing that Christianity supports the notion that almost every single early Christian is an inferior human being based on his ethnicity.
God, creation, and truth are hierarchical. Different things are different. Different things, ipso facto, means that they're not equal. We can observe, compare, measure, categorize, rank, order, and judge according to these differences.
If God judged everyone equally, then there would be zero reason to have Heaven and hell, condemned or saved, the elect or non-elect, to create nations (God did that), to break up the tower of Babel, to judge individuals differently, to judge collectives differently (God judges collectives), to create different plants, to create different animals, to create different sexes/genders, to have more than 1 person on earth at once. If race blindness, egalitarianism, equality, and tabula rasa are true, then you're accusing God of making arbitrary decisions and meaninglessly condemning some people to hell, and meaninglessly saving others.
Well im not sure what other group of people would knowingly murder the literal Son of God when he was sent down to them. Maybe God sent Jesus down to them first because they were in need of him the most compared to everyone else.
Perhaps the Romans.
Whether they were or not, that's not an answer to my question whether or not all the early apostles and saints were inferior to you based on their ethnicity.
