Collectified 

The term "collectified", is used to describe an individual (or group of individuals) who have been labelled under a generalisation without acknowledgment of their individuality.

"Collectify" is a term used when someone tries to label you (or another) by generalising who you are with that label.
Eg: "oh my gosh Sharon, is she trying to collectify you as a person of colour just because you were born with darker skin tones. Arn't you a human?"

Eg: "that group of people just collectified me as a white person, even though I have never seen myself as anything other than human."

Eg: "I was collectified by the media today, they informed the public that 3 out of 5 white men have the potential to be rapists."

Eg: "Don't let them collectify who you are Kazza. You are not the bad things that someone else has done, their actions are separate to who you are."
