Race was mentioned in the 2nd movie with one of the white characters asking if blade can blush. Although, it seemed the entire team was laughing and goading it on (including the other black guy).
It couldve been race related like you cant see a black person blush or it couldve been related to blade being a sorta hybrid and wondering if he can blush like a normal human.
The goal of blade was to entertain. When black panther came out my dad and I were so annoyed how the marketing acted like this was the first black man to ever be in movies. Also you had the usual Wikipedia comic experts in full force

This was supposedly included at Snipes' behest according to one writer; I believe Snipes was in Praque or Sweden at the time? I can't remember which one.
The writer recounted that Snipes told him a passer-by stopped to talk to Snipes, and even though it was cold out, the man quizzically asked Snipes' "can you blush?" not out of malice but out of genuine curiosity because he had never met a black person before.
It was explained that while Snipes' was initially offended by the question, he also realised the man had never met a black person before, and in some ways, thought it was funny. So he had the writers include that line in the film
