in·flic·tion

/inˈflikSHən/

noun

noun: infliction

the action of inflicting something unpleasant or painful on someone or something.
"the repeated infliction of pain"

•informaldated
a nuisance.
plural noun: inflictions

"what an infliction he must be!"

It is inflicted on him, the racism isn't there naturally, and it hurt him horribly, it ruined his life. Not as badly as his victims, but his life is gone--he will probably end up dead.
