It’s a culture that heavily pushes self identity. Then you combine that with poor schooling and a sheltered upbringing.
If you’re of limited education, means, and exposure, when it comes time to start outfitting that identity it becomes very easy to place yourself in a box. And that box becomes the lens you see the world through.
