Should people be labeled? Labels such as Irish-American, Hispanic, African-American. I had a college professor who as to most was a black person. She was from Jamaica. Once when filling out a questionaire on race, the listings were caucasion, African-American, Hispanic, or Asian. The white guy next to her was from South Africa. To all appearances he was white and she African-American. So quite the opposite. Now that being told. What is the affect of labels to perpetuate racism and stereotypes?
