Educated colonized subjects feel defensive before any actual conflict occurs

Evidence

What becomes of the exceptional cases of which M. Mannoni tells us? Quite simply, they are the instances in which the educated Negro suddenly discovers that he is rejected by a civilization which he has none the less assimilated. So that the conclusion would come to this: To the extent to which M. Mannoni’s real typical Malagasy takes on “dependent behavior,” all is for the best; if, however, he forgets his place, if he takes it into his head to be the equal of the European, then the said European is indignant and casts out the upstart–who, in such circumstance, in this “exceptional case,” pays for his own rejection of dependence with an inferiority complex. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 343 (#expands, via linked claim)
