    harks back to racist ideas of “uncultured savages”

    Does it? Does it really?

        Oh, you’re right, I forgot about the 100 years of uncultured, savage men being conscripted into slave labor to build rail roads or whatever.

        The persecution complex with you people is astounding.

      There’s definitely a relationship between the marginalization of dark skinned people (men and women) and the view of dark skinned people as more masculine (therefore more dangerous.)

        I’m not sure I agree, but I’m also not sure what you’re talking about.

        Is there a view that dark skinned people are more masculine? I might accept less feminine; such a view would serve the purpose of making the violence against them easier for people to stomach.
