Europeans repudiate the colonial educated in their own image while ignoring his origins

Evidence

What are the terms of this problem? Jean Veneuse is a Negro. Born in the Antilles, he has lived in Bordeaux for years; so he is a European. But he is black; so he is a Negro. There is the conflict. He does not understand his own race, and the whites do not understand him. And, he observes, “The Europeans in general and the French in particular, not satisfied with simply ignoring the Negro of the colonies, repudiate the one whom they have shaped into their own image.” — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 232 (#expands, via linked claim)
