The Negress and the mulatto pursue whiteness with distinctly different anxieties.
Evidence
First of all, there are two such women: the Negress and the mulatto. The first has only one possibility and one concern: to turn white. The second wants not only to turn white but also to avoid slipping back. What indeed could be more illogical than a mulatto woman’s acceptance of a Negro husband? For it must be understood once and for all that it is a question of saving the race. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 196 (
