The Persian Empire had a lot of subjugated populace. The worry of rebellion and other problems plagued them all the time. Greeks on the other hand were very laid back in comparison. The conditions for investment of available effort was very different between those two. The tolerance vs. discriminating attitude are in fact derived from the political relation which a group of people is with another group of people in such instance.

The Spartans were a small group ruling over a much larger subjugated population (the Helots), who they would try to keep in check through things like an annual murder spree, at least according to Aristotle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helots#Treatment_by_Spartans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helots#Treatment_by_Spartans
