I'm fed up with people questioning me about the race or ethnicity of my friends and acquaintences. Why does it matter to them whether they are White, Black, Hispanic, or Asian? And if they are of mixed origins, what particular line are they derived from? It's like determining the lineage of a certain breed of dog to assess the animal's temperament. Humans are not dogs and should not be treated as such.

I despise classification. That's probably why I don't disclose my own ethnicity, gender, or religion on applications if it's not required.
