You have to wonder when it IS OK to say someone is black or white?

I enjoy watching Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fights. In quite a few fights, both fighters wore the same trunks, so it was almost impossible to say "he's in the blue trunks", etc.

In quite a few of those fights, one guy was black, the other guy was white.

The announcers tried to describe the hardly discernible differences in the trim, etc., instead of saying "so-and-so is the black guy, so-and-so is the white guy". It was painful to listen to.


Talk about an elephant in the room.
