Is it normal to make everything about race?

For example, say a white person says " Otis Redding was one of the best singers of all time", but then someone comes along (of any race) and says "White people always choose him as their favorite black singer when there's so many other black singers"

But that person genuinely likes the music, it has nothing to do with the color of someone's skin. Are white people now limited to which Black artists they can like? What am I missing? Why would race even need to be brought up in that situation?

    No, and I don't understand why people do this. People are more than their race, so why make it such a huge part of their identity and base everything off of it? It seems very counterproductive to putting racism behind us and moving on from prejudice.

    Even when talking about something like sexism or trannies or lgbthjesm they also have to mention race when it has nothing to do with any of those.
