Asking if someone is black is not racist.

The shoes still suck, though.

Implying that because someone buys ugly shoes, it follows that they are black, is pretty racist.

I guess the shoes are not getting much love here on SF. I initially didn't like them either. But after I tried them on, I liked the fit. No laces. Besides the price was good.

Unlike you, SF will not grow to love these shoes. But if those justifications make it a worthy purchase for you, kudos. Just don't keep rationalizing it for everyone over and over again. It's not the end of the world if your Eurotrashy sneakers don't go over well on a forum; they'll be a huge hit at the gay bar, I bet.

Pretty sure that "are you black?" is kind of racist in this context.
