The concept is as old as mankind. Details (replace 'race' with 'guy from next tribe', same concept) or it's name maybe not.
That's called bigotry or jingoism, depending. Racism is a distinct flavor, and much like "Orange didn't exist as a color before the 15th century," there lacked the basic concept of a race as determined by skin color vs other identifiers such as language, city-state-affiliation, or religion.
