Black peril

Black peril

The Black Peril refers to the fear of colonial settlers that black men are attracted to white women and are having sexual relations with them. This goes back to class and race prejudices. Examples can be seen in British colonialism of India and Africa.

In the movie "A Passage to India" this is depicted very clearly, in the court scene.
