Labeling is a handy convention we use to plop people in groups. We can then jump to some conclusions about that person, or those people (or, canonize/demonize them according to their grouping).
Problem is, the labels don't define us. Making assumptions based on labels is like walking through a minefield.
If we want to know another person, perhaps it's best to get to KNOW them, personally.
