Unsurprisingly the first century Christians wanted little to do with gentiles until Paul figured out the profit angle. Even then there was quite a bit of division within the church about bringing them into the fold.

Even in the bible, Jesus regarded gentiles as dogs. It was only after his death that the zombie Jesus kinda-sorta instructed his disciples to preach to non-Jews, but even all of them didn't buy it.
