There is no evidence that wearing black stripes under your eyes helps you see/reduce glare. As such, it seems to have become a kind of 'war paint'; that is, wearing black on your face makes you look more intimidating or focused. Is that racist?
War paint is definitely racist. If it wasn't, Mel Gibson wouldn't be doing it.
