I was thinking more along the lines of 'our own power'. Who are we if we don't support or do not continue in the lines of our upbringing? These actions would support our place in the world, who we are. If these things were threatened you justify yourself with these ism's. The fear or inferiority would be to lose our purpose and perceptions of who we are.
Does this make sense? Yes, indeed food for thought!
