Antilleans arriving in France pursued sex with white women as a ritual of manhood

Evidence

Talking recently with several Antilleans, I found that the dominant concern among those arriving in France was to go to bed with a white woman. As soon as their ships docked in Le Havre, they were off to the houses. Once this ritual of initiation into “authentic” manhood had been fulfilled, they took the train for Paris. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 266 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

The majority of them, including those of lighter skin who often go to the extreme of denying both their countries and their mothers, tend to marry in Europe not so much out of love as for the satisfaction of being the master of a European woman; and a certain tang of proud revenge enters into this. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 254 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

16. More especially, they become aware that the line of self-esteem that they had chosen should be inverted. We have seen in fact that the Antillean who goes to France pictures this journey as the final stage of his personality. Quite literally I can say without any risk of error that the Antillean who goes to France in order to convince himself that he is white will find his real face there. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 986 (#qualifies, via linked claim)
