Basically, as much as many of us may argue that we are all individuals and have a right to our own preferences, there are still preferences that are stereotypically expected of us. As such, people who deviate from those expectations may face opposition (or, at least, odd looks) from other people — be it from people of their own cultural group or from outsiders. They may even be accused of cultural self-hatred, even if they have nothing against their cultural heritage, but see no reason why they should be limited to preferences within their own culture.

Perhaps, this character may not even start out as a rebel -- but becomes rebellious only after repeated snide remarks about his preferences. This character is quite likely to be accused by certain others of being a CategoryTraitor.
