>encounters that already exist in some grey area of drunkenness and consent are more likely to be viewed as assault when the man is "other", i.e. black or minority. But this seems awful. I agree with you but I'd like like to point out that this is just saying "it's not creepy when attractive people do it" but adding another couple dimensions (race and similiar) to "attractive" which is, as you said, awful. I can't think of any circumstances in which a double standard like that, especially one predicated on circumstances that are in large part outside one's control (hitting the gym won't make you 6'4", clearly being a star athlete didn't help this guy) is acceptable.
