Truthfully I think that it is a dialectic process that counterintuitively perpetuates a mentality of victimhood and otherness. The neverending process of being othered//feeling othered//trying to empower oneself in one's otherness is entirely futile. To assimilate, you must assimilate.

I'm well-aware that I'm being rather evasive and I certainly don't think anyone is fooled by what I'm really saying.
