Reactive ethnicity

Wikipedia

Reactive ethnicity is the phenomenon where actions intended to limit or ban a practice cause people to continue the practice in protest.[1][2][3] Jeffery Reitz has used this term to explain why the French restrictions on traditional Islamic veils are provoking even unveiled Muslim women to wear Islamic veils.[3]
