The same reason any good story includes descriptions of what people look like, sound like, etc. You wouldn't read a novel very far that said "the man walked up to the other man and, pointing at the man, said..."

Believe it or not, sometimes pointing out someone's race and/or size is just a way of helping you experience what the writer did. There's no evil agenda.
