I would say your example is more like how “the other” is fetishized by the society doing the colonizing. We see that today with asian women being highly sexualized by western media.
- deogeo 7y agoAren't e.g. white people just as much "the other" from the point of view of black people? We're just picking the explanation we prefer depending on the case, without any real justification. If it's a minority that prefers some other ethnicity, it's colonized desire, but if it's a majority, it's fetishizing "the other"?
- homonculus1 7y agoHeads I win, tails white people are evil. This is what you get when your school of thought holds group conflict as its axiom of morality and justice rather than the rights of the individual. It is a narrative of victimhood which can never be rectified because its perpetual existence is baked into the worldview.
