Here's some 'labels' that are earned, not inherited: idiot, violent, intelligent, kind, ignorant, lazy, greedy, industrious, thief ... etc When enough people with the same inherited label act in a certain way, we tend to associate the inherited label with the earned label. It is what humans do, regardless of race. Unfortunately, in many places, statistics tend to support these commonly held label associations. Ignore them at your own peril!
"Every historian knows that race was invented in the 15th century" after that black guy said that, i lost interest.
