Racial conflict coexisted with intimate colonial relations rather than arising later
Evidence
Let us not exaggerate. When a soldier of the conquering army went to bed with a young Malagasy girl, there was undoubtedly no tendency on his part to respect her entity as another person. The racial conflicts did not come later, they coexisted. The fact that Algerian colonists go to bed with their fourteen-year-old housemaids in no way demonstrates a lack of racial conflicts in Algeria. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 904
