If you wanted to call for your friend that is light skin, you would say, "Hey, the dude with the blonde hair, wearing a red hat and blue shirt! Come here!"
BUT if you wanted to call for your friend that is dark skinned, you would say, "Hey, black dude! Come here!"
WHY IS IT LIKE THAT???

That does irritate me because it can be construed as racist, but it's just become a norm in society to say that, I guess... though I wonder why they can't just use names or LEARN them so they can call those out instead...

Chances are in a crowded area, (unless your in Queens), there are more white people than Afro Americans, so when calling one of the many white people in the crowd you would have to be more descriptive on which white person your calling... "Hey dude with the blond hair, red hat.....But when calling a "black dude" in a crowd a rude person might just say "hey black dude". The simple fact is this person is black. They could have been yellow or purple, who cares. It sounds to me like you (like most black people) are constantly looking and listening for remarks that you can call racist. RACIST AGITATORS like you is why racism still exist.
Get over the color thing, stop listening to Spike Lee and Al Sharpton and move the @#$!%$ on!

It is not like that. Sometimes you call a light skined person that white guy sometimes you call a dark skinned person that black person. But you only say that to someone that your talking to not the person themselves that is just rude to say white boy or black boy come here.

I think it has to do a lot with what ethnicity your are and the person you are speaking to. I think it would be opposite coming from a person with dark skin--> "The white guy" or "The guy with the dreds, wearing the red hat"

I would call my friend by their name, not by their clothes or skin color...
