One’s cultural belonging is not necessarily exclusive to the person, privileged (or doomed), to have geographically been situated in a particular part of the world at the time of exiting the womb. It is just one of the many heuristics that we fall prey to on a daily basis. Simple minds need simple answers that are quick and do not tax the limited brain calories.
