Manu Moreale blogs about how we label people, how we define them based on large groups instead of who they are:

The moment you started using these definitions, you lost me. Not because I’m offended by them, but because it saddens me to see the complete annihilation of individuality which is what makes us uniquely interesting. The moment you decide to simply label someone as anything, you prime yourself to be incapable of recognizing that there’s a lot more beneath the surface.

People are complicated. If we oversimplify, we risk only highlighting our differences instead of what connects us.
