I agree with you. These labels so annoy me. I am 'white' (there we go, another label) but my heritage is so mixed (each grandparent is from a different area of Europe) that I do not identify with one ethnicity or background. Part of me thinks it is a sense of belonging that has folks identifying with their heritage in this way. I dislike many labels because of the way they exclude others. For example, my husband, who some would call African-American (he refers to himself as black)has been known to use the label 'person of color' or 'people of color'. So, since I'm 'white', does this then make me a 'person of no color'??? We've got to draw the line somewhere and just accept that we all have similarities and differences, and we're all people living here in this country. That's my two cents.
