Would one call another one racist if they were to use those terms (again, in no way was it in a racist context...they were just used to describe the person).

That's how it's becoming these days. It's taboo to mention someones skin color, even if it's of absolutely no consequence and is said as just a detail the same way you'd mention the color of the flowers you saw on a hike rather than just saying you saw some flowers. It's not just that we're not supposed to judge people by their skin color, we're not even supposed to
see their skin color.
