The existence of something that has a label requires something else to also exist. Identity markers define these differences to create separation from each other. A lecturer in university explained this to me as: if the only colour in the world was red, there wouldn’t be a colour called red. It would just be. To conceptualise something called red, there must also exist something that is green, brown, black and so on.
