The patient’s alienation stems from fear of the Negro aggravated by circumstance

Evidence

Even when one concedes a constitutional factor here, it is clear that her alienation is the result of a fear of the Negro, a fear aggravated by determining circumstances. Although the patient had made considerable progress, it was doubtful whether she would soon be able to resume a normal life in society. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 750
