" But we should be ever wary of classing people according to stereotypes. When I was a boy, American culture expended a great deal of energy to discredit such thinking and behavior. Today, however, we have witnessed the revenge of the stereotype. We learn from many that the most important part of human identity is skin color or a related identifier. We are told that we can know a great deal about people based upon these limited characteristics. This extends even to assuming that having a certain pigmentation, or being from a certain community, predetermines our way of thinking, our forms of expression, our preferences, our experiences, and our very personhood itself.
