Oh and to your original point.
Of does it reduce glare?

The verdict? While eye black does not appear to reduce glare, it does improve the ability to differentiate between light and dark.

On top of that there's no real like to eye paint being in any way racist or linked to race. White guys don't put it on because they feel it makes them black.
However when you have a white person wearing black face or black makeup and possibly parodying another race, that is racist, and links back to black face used by white actors in the silent film era to mock or exaggerate racial stereotypes.
Black charcoal paint or tape under the eyes has no link or basis in stereo types or racism, none.
Blackface makeup does.
