People interpret you, through the lens of your religion
People interpret you, through the lens of your parents
People interpret you, through the lens of your caste
People interpret you, through the lens of your skin tone
People interpret you, through the lens of your gender

Also, most of these interpreting terms are always out of our control.
We didn’t chose our skin tone, but we are judged for that, and are made fun of, because of our skin colour.
If we are to judge people, it should be for their ill behaviour alone, not skin tone or anything else that is outside their control.
