Explanation:

Noah's statement shows that while others perceived him based on his race (colored), he did not define himself by that perception. It suggests that others' perceptions can exist externally but a person may choose not to internalize them in shaping their identity. A person has the agency to form their own self - view independent of external categorizations.

Answer:

Others' perceptions can be external labels, but a person has the power to define their identity independently of those external views.
