Why do black and brown people look like dangerous animals?

In history, Black and Brown people have often been described as resembling dangerous animals due to their dark skin, curly hair, and facial features. This racist comparison is rooted in Eurocentric and colonizer-centric views which devalued other cultures and physical features. Over time, these descriptions of Black and Brown people were incorporated into the popular culture which made them perpetual stereotypes in society. These racist stereotypes have endured to this day and lead to systemic bias and discrimination against people of color.
