Returning to the colonies, the Europeanized Black finds both races reject him.
Evidence
As long as he remains among his own people, the little black follows very nearly the same course as the little white. But if he goes to Europe, he will have to reappraise his lot. For the Negro in France, which is his country, will feel different from other people. One can hear the glib remark: The Negro makes himself inferior. But the truth is that he is made inferior. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 575 (
