   "Othering"To "other":To treat as different and therefore, they don't belong."Othering” sometimes (not always) involves oppression especially through policies and laws that are made to subjugate people.To other is to treat someone else as if they don’t deserve what others have, especially if they are not from the U.S. or if they belong to a marginalized community. This is connected to the idea that someone who is seen as foreign or not from the dominant group (especially white, middle class, heterosexual, etc) is not as deserving.
