Real you in YOU - 2; Losing identity in finding uniqueness.

 Minority cultures and communities are getting drifted from their origins due to cultural appropriation. Survival of minorities act as multiplier in increasing the rate of drift, helping the appropriation from other end of losing their identity. In the process minority cultures adopt dominant cultures inappropriately. Embracing cultural, religious traditions of dominant cultures as fashion statements, symbols, songs has become common. This gives them a euphoric feeling of achievement, uniqueness among their community.

 Appreciating and embracing other cultures and practices is humanity value that has to be passed on to generations. However one is ignoramus and mocks the culture when patronizing other cultural practices without knowing the in-depth reasons. It is cultural misappropriation.

Continuing to do so will push one into a zone of confusion called #whoyouare and lead to extinction of minority cultures. And the individual belonging to the minority community becomes a pseudonym in the mush. Ultimately it will be a flight taken off heading nowhere; mislead journey of life. In psychiatric terms all such individuals are in #identitycrisis.

To avoid such psychological pitfall, go find the #realyouinyou where by one need not compromise their identity that was provided by birth. Such identity are god given; live with it and die with it. Dont' change it. There are better things to be changed in life.
