You don't get it, that's all.
When you believe things in a certain way, beliefs have consequences. They also produce culture. Culture affects us in both voluntary and involuntary ways. Things we don't even think about. If "outsiders" were those with long sideburns, televisions lighting their rooms and mustaches, you consider than for a few decades and it's a pretty well burnt template into your subconscious. It has trained patterns in your brain. This can be fleshed out a 100 different ways.
