Inferiority in Antilleans is collective and environmental, not individual

Evidence

In effect, Adler has created a psychology of the individual. We have just seen that the feeling of inferiority is an Antillean characteristic. It is not just this or that Antillean who embodies the neurotic formation, but all Antilleans. Antillean society is a neurotic society, a society of “comparison.” Hence we are driven from the individual back to the social structure. If there is a taint, it lies not in the “soul” of the individual but rather in that of the environment. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 758 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
