Yes, they were. It is known that people really would cross the Jordan to the east bank and bypass Samaria on the way to and from Galilee and Judea.
During Jesus' time, the oppressed were often seen as the poor, sick, marginalized groups such as lepers, Samaritans, and women. Jesus preached love, compassion, and justice for all people, especially those who were considered outcasts by society. He challenged social norms and reached out to those who were marginalized or mistreated.
Samaritans were considered social outcasts during the time of Jesus because they were seen as heterodox in their religious beliefs and practices, as they only accepted the first five books of the Bible. Additionally, there was historical animosity between Samaritans and Jews, dating back to the Assyrian conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. These factors led to social and religious tensions that marginalized Samaritans in the eyes of many Jews.
Mainly as they were not Jews and believed in idol worship, and their beliefs were wrong according to the Jewish one.
No, women were held in high esteem by most households. It was only those in power who used women a chattels.
AnswerThe gospels say that Joseph and Mary were Jews, not Samaritans.
Jesus mostly met with Jews, and on rare occasions with Samaritans. Paul went primarily to the Gentiles.
A:Samaria was the nation or province between Judea to the south and Galilee to the north. It was the successor state to Israel, which had ceased to exist over seven hundred years before the time of Jesus. Samarians or Samaritans were residents of Samaria and may have been descended partly from the remnant Israelites allowed by the Assyrians to remain in Samaria and partly from the various peoples who were brought in to replace the Israelites taken into exile. They were implacable enemies of the Jews since they overran Samaria during the second century BCE. Samaritans had become monotheistic, worshipping one God but with many differences compared to the religion of their southern Jewish neighbours. Almost all the Samaritans eventually adopted the Jewish religion but a small community of Samaritans remains in modern Israel.

In the bible there is a story of Jesus sitting at a well in midday , and as the disciples had gone out. A Samaritan women came to draw water at noon, as it was a custom in those days the Jews collected water in the morning or in the evenings, but the afternoon was given to the Samaritans. As the samaritans worshiped idols the Jews considered then outcasts.
The Kingdom of Israel was finally destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE and many of the people who did not flee to Judah or Egypt deported, never to return. So, in the time of Jesus, there was no Kingdom of Israel and there had not been for over seven centuries. The land of the Israelites had become Samaria, the land of the Samarians, or Samaritans. Judea and Samaria were under Roman rule.
The Samaritans were the inhabitants of Samaria. They were of mixed Jewish and heathen descent. The Samaritans claimed descent from Jacob, and looked on themselves as true Israelites. A mountain in Samaria, Mount Gerizim had been adopted as their official place of worship. The Jews had a deep dislike for the Samaritans. They considered them half-breeds. That is why this woman said to the Lord Jesus, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?"
