I always figured it was a huge part of it. Hell, I’m just partially Jewish and I still get shit from white nationalist for supposedly ‘taking their women’
A lot of us like to say that all right-wing politics is sexual pathologies and there is some truth to it.
The hierarchical relations between classes and races (and probably other hierarchies as well) seems to be underpinned by imaginations of the sexual promiscuity and animalistic sexual performance of those below you in the hierarchy. These imaginations are a weird mix of moral condemnation, hidden fascination and burning inferiority complexes.
Reaganites didn’t just hate the black “welfare queen” for not being destitute enough. These women’s imagined sexual promiscuity is also a part of the mythology. These fantasies, being exaggerated fiction, are much more interesting than the real and ordinary sex lives of reactionaries and it infuriates them to imagine “inferior” people having more fun than they have. This in turns provides emotional justification for oppressing them further, thereby restoring the balance to the hierarchy.
You see similar mechanisms at play with European chuds who often accuse anti-racist white women of secretly secretly wanting to be gang raped by Muslims, thereby revealing their own sexual insecurities about being outcompeted by “inferior” races who they imagine to be more virile and sexually powerful than they feel they are themselves.
Malcolm X hits on this a few times in his autobiography. It’s more a symptom of white supremacy than a cause which at the end of the day is if you dehumanize people you can use them for unpaid labor and feel okay about it. Everything else is just bigot idpol to try to justify it.
