Negrophobia operates on the biological and instinctual level.

Evidence

What is important to us here is to show that with the Negro the cycle of the biological begins. No anti-Semite, for example, would ever conceive of the idea of castrating the Jew. He is killed or sterilized. But the Negro is castrated. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 601
