Its OK to be descriptive, but the tendency to categorize people by their skin color serves only to divide us further, ( divided we are weak).
Also it strips people of their individuality and lumps them together into arbitrary categories which make it easier to make sweeping generalizations about specific individuals we have never met.

I agree. Personally I think the only time it's fine to use these terms for people is in the example I laid out.
