Jung universalized what was only European childhood psychic material

Evidence

This is where Jung was an innovator: He wanted to go back to the childhood of the world, but he made a remarkable mistake: He went back only to the childhood of Europe. In the remotest depth of the European unconscious an inordinately black hollow has been made in which the most immoral impulses, the most shameful desires lie dormant. And as every man climbs up toward whiteness and light, the European has tried to repudiate this uncivilized self, which has attempted to defend itself. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 665 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
