The kind of white male mind that sees women as a dangerous commodity isn't going to stop there, and will perceive brown men as threats, too. Brown women who aren't fetishized will be feared as incubators of the next generation of males who could supplant those in power now.

The Right is about power, and its followers are all about their lack of power and who they can blame for it.
