Someone with the Cringe may love his/her country and national heritage despite its supposed inferiority. This isn't necessarily the opposite of Patriotic Fervor, nor is it necessarily the same thing as Boomerang Bigot. In fact, it's common for people suffering from Cultural Cringe to disavow that there is a national culture at all. A person who is culturally alienated places little value on their own or host culture, and instead hungers for that of a – sometimes imposed – colonising nation.Ī person with a cultural cringe will tend to discount a lot of their own culture, and embrace another country's 'better' culture instead. The cultural cringe is tightly connected with "cultural alienation", that is, the process of devaluing or abandoning one's own culture or cultural background. It can also be manifested in individuals in the form of cultural alienation. This behavior can be the result of cultural cringe or cultural alienation.Ĭultural cringe, in cultural studies and social anthropology, is an internalized inferiority complex that causes people in a country to dismiss their own culture as inferior to the cultures of other countries.
