harks back to racist ideas of "uncultured savages"

Does it? Does it really?

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.

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.

A question for you to meditate on, as my position is quite clear.

It's clear.

Out of curiosity, how did you feel about man vs bear?

An excellent piece of ragebait, it became more than the issue it tried to raise though.
