[T.C.]

This is a very good question. Serene’s comments make sense, but there are indeed times when you might need to reference a specific individual and you don’t know a name. For example, if I’m at the gym with my partner and we see two guys talking (one of them white), is it wrong for me to tell my partner, ‘The black (or African American) dude is the instructor for my spin class’ when the races of the two guys are their most obvious distinguishing features? Should I avoid using race to distinguish individuals altogether? Should I instead say something like, ‘the dude in the red shorts’ or ‘the dude to the left’ or ‘the dude with his back to us’ or ‘the dude that is slightly taller’? It seems as if this could easily get ridiculous.
