Can we use the same stereotype than the rwandan hate media?

Pierre Péan used in his book the stereotype of the "femme fatale" used by the hate media in Rwanda (like Kangura newspaper or RTLM radio) before and during the Tutsi genocide.

The Chamber notes that Tutsi women, in particular, were targeted for persecution. The portrayal of the Tutsi woman as a femme fatale, and the message that Tutsi women were seductive agents of the enemy was conveyed repeatedly by RTLM and Kangura. The Ten Commandments, broadcast on RTLM and published in Kangura, vilified and endangered Tutsi women, as evidenced by Witness AHI’s testimony that a Tutsi woman was killed by CDR members who spared her husband’s life and told him “Do not worry, we are going to find another wife, a Hutu for you”. By defining the Tutsi woman as an enemy in this way, RTLM and Kangura articulated a framework that made the sexual attack of Tutsi women a foreseeable consequence of the role attributed to them.

racial double standards

why does france oppress the views of the native people? europeans are criticized constantly, yet when europeans share their views they are thrown in jail while africans can get away with murder. i fear that the racial double standards that europeans have been subjected to will eventually lead to extremism amongst european men.
