The racialist daughter-marriage argument exposes incestuous rather than racial feelings
Evidence
An argument widely used by racialists against those who do not share their convictions is worthy of mention for its revealing character. “What,” they say, “if you had a daughter, do you mean to say that you would marry her to a negro?” I have seen people who appeared to have no racialist bias lose all critical sense when confronted with this kind of question. The reason is that such an argument disturbs certain uneasy feelings in them (more exactly, incestuous feelings) and they turn to racialism as a defence reaction. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 603 (

If one wants to understand the racial situation psycho-analytically, not from a universal viewpoint but as it is experienced by individual consciousnesses, considerable importance must be given to sexual phenomena. In the case of the Jew, one thinks of money and its cognates. In that of the Negro, one thinks of sex. Anti-Semitism can be rationalized on a basic level. It is because he takes over the country that the Jew is a danger. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 599 (
