In relation to one's own norms and values, the "foreign" is ascribed a fundamental otherness and the cognitive ability to acquire one's own cultural order is denied. The construct of the “other” or “stranger” can be based on anti-Semitic and / or racist attitudes and behavior depending on the orientation .

In contrast, there is also the strategy of normalization through alignment .

Exotization is a manifestation of racism , which is often referred to as "positive" and which is expressed in dichotomies such as the term " noble savage ". The term "positive" is of course misleading with regard to the forms of violence of racism.

In culturally separatist ideas of multiculturalism , the exoticization is shown by the non-perception of cultural forms in the majority society by the minority society, such as the influences of Jewish tradition on “ German ” culture in language, music, science and literature.

The reception of elements from non-European cultures in European culture (especially in the fine arts and literature) is called exoticism . See also Orientalism and Japonism .
