Context: Wie wenig Haare als Markierung des Subjekts, als pars pro toto, unterschätzt werden dürfen . . .
This is clearly a common phrase. I am sure there must be a common accepted English expression, but I can't think of it.

labeling the subject (individual/person) as...
My take:
labeling the subject (individual/person) as "pars pro toto"
The "labeling" is to be understood as a metaphoricall approach to marking a person with a certain feature and then that person will be known for it by all others as possesing whatever it maybe that is distinct.
