Let's say you are friends with him and you want to introduce him to a friend of yours that has never met that guy. When trying to show where he is in the room (without pointing) do you say he is the guy in the white polo with the dark hair or do you say he's the black guy?

I say 'hey, let me introduce you to my friend <insert name here>,' because I know how to be a good host.

Uhh, I'd probably walk him over to the guy and say hey, let me introduce you to my friend.

I don't know if I've ever pointed someone out to say "hey, see that person over there? In about 2 minutes I'm gonna walk you over and introduce you to them".

If I'm not introducing the guy, and maybe telling a story about his shenanigans and the person wants to know who they are, I'll point in their direction and say, "that's him, the black dude."

Fantastic how this topic backfired on TC.

Not really, I just stated this wrong. This topic has nothing to do with race. Just how we refer to people.
