A truly effective list will have 25 or more different descriptors... Think about all of the things that are obvious about you and then think about what's below the surface. What elements of your culture can we not see by looking at you?

Cultures and Identity Development: Getting Infants and Toddlers Off to a Great Start, by Carol Brunson Day, pages 2-12
