IN SHORT: Why We Need to Stop Cultural Profiling

Warning: read empathically.

With more women leaders —and people in general — identifying themselves as culturally diverse as Mexican elected president Claudia Sheinbaum and U. S. A. vice-president Kamala Harris, there’s no doubt that our ancestry defining fully who we are is a myth.

Is it really nature versus nurture?

#Epigenetics play a key role in our lives and help shape greatly who we are. I’m very thankful and proud of that. Yet, cultural diversity, a term referring to people with a reality of coexistence of diverse knowledge, values, arts, customs, laws, languages, abilities and disabilities, genders, ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientations, and more, is a human right. Cultural diversity is a future proof choice and a value that gives hope to people by bringing peace in a world of nonsense segregation.

Embracing cultural diversity is not a crime and translates how we, who opt for it, react to our immediate reality and the way we choose to live together in harmony along with our ancestry.

Like many professional people as Ms Sheinbaum and Ms Harris, our reality operates with ease in predominantly intercultural communities. People are free to feel comfortable with the identity built. A person is free to simply describes themselves as a national of the cultures they feel home.

Humanity should not have to fit into political spheres because of our backgrounds.

Let’s be in peace with who we are. People might need to figure it out a bit harder with those who do a bit differently. Some of us are perfectly fine with it.
