    I recommend you get a hold of the song 'White Tee' By Crime Mob. Its about, you guessed it, white tees, hopefully it will shine some light on your inquiry.

    There are two ways to look at this question. There is a definite distinction between when a person is telling a story and when a person is identifying someone. For example in a story if a person says, 'this black guy...' or 'this Hispanic woman' it shows his or her own, probably subconscious, racial bias. For example, when a white person is telling a story about another white person they do not often say, 'this white guy' because they automatically assume the person is white. This however would be true for any other race. So in that way one could find describing someone by his or her race offensive. However using it as a characteristic to describe someone because the purpose is to identify is totally justifiable. In order to end racism (so issues like this don't even come into play) we could embrace all races, not ignore them like a big pink elephant in the middle of the room.
