[...]There was no qualitative value judgement being imposed with any of the questions posed so how were they racist?

Here's one for you. It has been my observation (sorry, no scientific data at this time) that people of native African heritage have darker skintones than those of European descent.
Go ahead and call me racist.
Okay, I'll call you racist.
First of all, you claim that there were no "value judgements" connected with his physiological claims, but he used the phrase "size queen" in titling the thread where he made these claims, and repeated that phrase within the thread. This isn't about
physiology. Second of all, he chose porn actors for his non-random sample, where racial stereotypes are
part of the script. There's a value judgement inherent in his methodology that you've completely missed.
And second of all, in defending him, you've chosen an example that's tautological in order to defend a claim that
isn't tautological. The gender-based analogy would be if someone came onto this board and posted, "it's been my observation that women are physically less equipped to drive automobiles than men (this isn't a value judgement!)", which I then defended using a claim that "it's been my observation that women have more vaginas than men."
It
is possible to have an unbiased discussion of physiological differences among different populations of women; such a discussion would attempt to distinguish dark-skinned African women from, say, dark-skinned Pacific Islanders; such a discussion would avoid perjorative characterizations of their subjects; and such a discussion would seek a more objective way of measuring physiology than watching their subjects get slammed by Mandingo.
This wasn't such a discussion. I don't know if superlarge was
intending to offend, or if he was merely engaging in the same sort of post-hoc pseudoscience that "intellegent design" advocates use to support their pre-existing beliefs.
But to have missed the obvious staring-you-in-the-face value judgements inherent in his methodology, his choice of sample, his method of assessment, and his lack of seeking alternate explanations for the "data" he obtained -- demonstrates either a case of a mindboggling lack of reading comprehension, or an unhealthy willingness to look the other way.
