People who have no idea what racism really is....

By that sentiment we should also never describe people's hair, clothes, or weight..

Necessary when descrbing:

The person your trying to hook your friend up with

The person who committed a crime to the cops

The person your mocking or admiring for their hair, clothes, or weight

Writing a short story or a book where your setting a scene.

Skin color also needed for the first two, the third if they try to pull the race card, and the fourth as part of setting the scene.

I agree. It just seems like most people are using those attributes when descirbing a person you already know in which case for me clothing or hair style is helpful but none of the others are.

Would you say the same sentence with white guy instead of black?

Why not...
This crazy guy, holy shit I've never seen a white guy that big or angry, rushed into the store and just started in on a rage, yelling and shouting, spittle going everywhere.

No, it's not the same sentence, but it is a sentence that could be used.

That's a million times more racist-sounding than your original sentence.

This one implies that being "big and angry" is not tradtionally a "white" behaviour.

[DrFaroohk]

But it doesn't. It merely states that he's never seen a white person be that big or angry. If he meant that white people typically aren't big and angry, he would have said "I've never seen a white guy that big or angry, because white guys are never big and angry!"

People put way too much meaning into shit.

It could also be read that it's not a traditional behavior of any race, and of white people I've seen he was the biggest and angriest...
