This occurs because of “internal causation” and the beliefs that poor educational performance is due to internal characteristics of the marginalized group and that their culture contributes to their perceived failures, as a form of victim blaming (237). This is the belief that other external factors are hardly, or not influential at all, and often associated with terms like “deprived” or “deficient,” and sends the message that those of underrepresented groups, “lack the right culture.” When an individual idealization is assumed, it puts pressures on individuals and their inner and outer being, blames them entirely for their failure, and believes that hard work will always eventually lead to success
