Anyone who believes that a minority group has uncontrollable, inappropriate sexual desires as a function of that feature which makes them a minority is no better than, and in is fact quite similar to, Jim Crow racists.

Wow. I'd never looked at it that way. You're a smart cookie, guy44. While I had thought to compare this to racial bigotry, this direct comparison seems to stand up quite well. Admittedly, I had forgotten about the "all black men are inheratly lustful" opinions that were used to try and keep black men segregated and controled.
