So let me get this straight. The proposed endpoint of all minoritarian socio-political uprisings—whether focused on race, ethnicity, or queerness in various forms—is the elimination of discrimination and abjection. The primary mode of elimination is the protection of minoritarian cultures as "pure." More than not, this is accomplished in contemporary social movements through propping up "authentic" representatives of these cultures as loudspeakers for preserving cultural purity and singularity.

However, aren't these attempts to preserve cultures and promote purity of origin ultimately destructive fantasies? Don't these fantasies of protecting cultural purity, especially those of minoritarian "uniqueness," ultimately produce the abjectness, outsiders, and minoritarian discrimination that they claim to fight against?

In other words, what long-term goals can increased minoritarian claims of pure cultural identity accomplish other than creating even more discrimination and "Others"?
