There's no clean line between "Roman" and "Barbarian," in that there were several barbarian emperors and quasi-emperors starting with Thrax. In general, the later in Roman history you go the less attachment there is to a "pure" Roman identity. Rome itself was politically and strategically irrelevant in the later years.

LOL at this quote from the NYT he cites:

"While the prospect of accepting an expected 800,000 new residents this year offers Germany an opportunity to rejuvenate its aging demographics and ensure its economic prosperity, it also challenges a prevailing cultural consensus of what it means to be German."

jfc, GAS the media.

Theodosius had the address to persuade his allies, that the conditions of peace, which had been extorted from him by prudence and necessity, were the voluntary expressions of his sincere friendship for the Gothic nation. …

The advocates of Theodosius could affirm, with some appearance of truth and reason, that it was impossible to extirpate so many warlike tribes, who were rendered desperate by the loss of their native country; and that the exhausted provinces would be revived by a fresh supply of soldiers and husbandmen.

Yes. The Romans had had a policy for hundreds of years before the fall of allowing some barbarians into the Empire with the intention of Romanising them to provide extra manpower.

You can see this in the later Empire with non-Roman origin names becoming more common among the political and military leadership.
