Like if you had an argument at a grocery store and said "so this asian guy comes up to me". The response from many would be "umm, why mention the race?".

... who gives a sh-t? I mean, you're telling a story, using words to paint a picture. This story is about an interaction with a person, so they briefly described the person.
If you want to go down that road, why mention gender? Is the fact that they were a male particularly important to the story either? Does it change the absurdity of the behavior?
It would be completely disingenuous to insinuate that the poster's mention of race -- in this instance -- was done for some nefarious purpose like suggesting that their race was in any way contributory to their behavior or state of intoxication.
As someone of the beige persuasion myself, I don't particularly care one way or the other, but given the context here, it's kind of a pointless thing to harp on.
