"Black Friend"

In class when we discussed how we introduce people i think that some people were offended when they were told that most people identify people with their race if they are a minority. I dont think if someone does this that it means that they are racist. I feel that the majority of the environment always describes people who are the minority with thier race. For example, Katt Williams, an African American comedian describes some of his people as "white people" and says u got to get yourself some white friends. He is speaking to a majority black crowd and therefore the crowd assumes that the people he talks about are black. He sates that they are white becuase it is a feature that is not simaliar to the black majority crowd. My main point is that when someone describes someone for the first time with thier race as a feature they are accounting for the persons different features fromt he minority and as long as they dont box them in to a stereotype according to that race it is not racist in my opinion
