Racists are people who are obsessed with race, who mention the race of everybody in every story (except black crime perpetrators).

Exactly. Think about the word itself: race-ist, i.e. one to whom race is an ideology, as in social-ist. It’s not about which word you use to describe pigmentation.

"If Tiger said, `Let's serve tacos at dinner with Garcia,' the world would go crazy," Gallagher said.

Lol, no, the world wouldn't go crazy. Most of the world isn't obsessed with such associations. And you can jokingly associate some specific food with any group on earth.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913 + 1828) doesn't even have the term "racist". It is of fairly recent vintage.
