Describing people as this or that is characterization.
At worst characterization is a form of cursing or fixing or witchcraft. It is a denial of freedom. It is judging.
The use of active values to describe someone or a group is more salient.
Is someone tolerant?
Is someone helpful?
Is someone democratic?
Is someone non-Idolatrous?
Values can be willed. Characterization needlessly fixes someone in a straitjacket.
