Ah, bummer. I'm aware of how it's used in identity politics, but I'd never considered how that use might foster distrust in an already culturally repressive populace. Sounds complicated, and I'm sure the aftereffects of imperialism haven't done anything to help the nations they left devastated feel positively about a trend they might identify as foreign in that way.
