Nothing, so why do you make an issue of it? He is black, I am white. I have no problem with being white, and I assume he has no problem with being black. If the video had been of me drinking 100 shots of beer, and the title was "White Guy Does Centurion Challenge" you would not have seen the need to ask "What does the man's race have to do with anything?" So why bring it up because he is black?????
I know you think you are being "politically correct", but the fact that you feel it is necessary to pull someone up for pointing out that the guy was black shows that you think black people need "protecting" from people mentioning that they are black, which is patronising at best, and racist at worse. More than that, you seem to imply that it is a wrong to mention he is black as though "being black" is a bad thing. Which is defiantly racist.
I am sure it is subconscious, and that if I asked, you would honestly claim that you are not racist, but in that you feel the need to post "What does the man's race have to do with anything?" shows that you consider "being black" to be a bad thing. And although subconscious, it is still racism.
