You know, the matrix says, &lsquo;Pick an identity and stick with it. Because I want to sell you some beer and shampoo and I need you to stick with what you are so I&rsquo;ll know how to market it to you.&rsquo; Drag is the opposite. Drag says, &lsquo;Identity is a joke,&#8217;&rdquo; RuPaul explained.<\/p>\n<p>He added, &ldquo;I think that I haven&rsquo;t been accepted in mainstream media outlets like &lsquo;The Tonight Show&rsquo; or &lsquo;Ellen&rsquo; or the late-night shows because the only way they could actually have a conversation with me is to make fun of me, or if they could somehow make a joke about what I&rsquo;m doing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ru also shared his emotional connection to the show and its contestants:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;&lsquo;Drag Race&rsquo; is popular because at its core it is the story of the tenacity of the human spirit. We get to see these kids who have been pushed aside by society, who&rsquo;ve made a way for themselves to be seen and to be great. And watching them thrive throughout these challenges is captivating, especially knowing their stories. And I know their stories because it&rsquo;s my story. It really is the story of really everyone who thinks outside the box.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He adds,<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know, show business is not for sissies. Drag ain&rsquo;t for sissies. You&rsquo;ve got to toughen up.&nbsp;I&rsquo;m not on this show to &hellip; to make it easy, you know? I wanna prepare them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But through it all, Ru says he tries to balance his emotional&nbsp;reaction to the contestants&rsquo; stories with being their mama hen:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;&hellip;they&rsquo;re looking to me to know how to react, so I react with compassion and with my heart. But I don&rsquo;t want to break down, even though I do want to break down. You know, I have to stay strong because they see me as Mama Ru.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>RuPaul also addressed the way in which mainstream &lsquo;straight&rsquo; culture often steals from <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> culture, saying,<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It always has.
