Perhaps it is because it is like a shackle thatholds them back from reaching higher and flying unfettered, achieving in life.
I can't believe that no black boy ever dreamed of being the president, but they are all white caucasian maried males, term after term. And it perhaps hurts considering that imbeciles like ( ehm. lets not get political!) are elected while better candidates perhaps languish in the dark?.
Mainly, Being different means you will be the butt of other people's jokes, you'll be teased and suffer discrimination.

I know a guy who does not like to admit that his great grand parents were Mexican and says he did not ask to be born with that blood because as a child his Mother was married to a Mexican and he used to beat him so he now holds resentment towards all Mexicans not Mexican / Americans mind you just i was born in Mexico Mexicans. So i think everyone has different reasons.

Lack of understanding of self. Self loathing. Giving attention and believing stereotypes and generalizations put forth by the media or other cultures.
The desire to be a part of the overall majority, or whatever their perception of 'the best' is.

"A people without the knowledge of it's past is like a tree without roots."{Marcus Garvey}I think it's because they lack self-esteem and want 2 b accepted by others.

maybe they're ashamed of their culture perhaps because of what it's become, or they don't have enough pride to love who they are in their ethnicity because of the stereotypical views of others.
