 it depends who the audience is.  one way of speaking doesn’t fit all.

and mentioning stuff in one context & particular audience situation is not the same as equating the whole being of someone to those things mentioned.

imho, you’re right too that in many scenarios, talking about race, gender, or whatever is counterproductive.

totally true that in many cases it’s gone way too far with classifying people’s “traits” or “characteristics” or whatever.

it’s like, “ser, this is a wendy’s.”
