I am sure you are right and correct.

We label folks by their heritage, their religion, their dress, the color of their skin, even their status of income, their views of the world and make a general and almost always wrong decision on who they are.

"It's important to recognize that the people we label as "black," "white," "rich," poor," smart," and "simple," seem blacker, whiter, richer, poorer, smarter, and simpler merely because we've labeled them so. "

Fear of these groups are then able to be used to unite for a common hate or cause.
