I think the tumblr ranter kind of has a point, tbh. It's really kind of weird and conspicuous when a black character is constantly referred to as "the black man" when the white characters are not referred to as "the white man." Once or twice when he first appears in the fic, (or to make a point when the guy's blackness is relevant to what's happening in the story) is fine, and I get that it's a convenient epithet like "the blond" and "the shorter man," but it just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Though IMO, when you're ranting about something like this, it's always a better bet to say "omg guys look at all the myriad ways this thing is so stupid and annoying" rather than "YOU! STOP DOING THIS BECAUSE I SAY SO. AND IF YOU DO IT AGAIN YOU SUCK." When someone focuses on the thing the writer is doing rather than the writer personally, it makes a huge difference.
