yeup negro means black in spanish, but is also the N word in my country :yesyes:
anyway that thread is very stupid, like do you gonna said, hey black dude what time is it? lol
in all seriousness, if you really feel the need to address people of different racial heritages differently than others then you need to do some self examination...people are people :thumbsup:
Whatever you do, don't you the 'N' word. They hate that, as calling them 'Nice' can interfere with their cred something shocking. They have a rep to uphold. WORD.
Its ok to call the whites the C, H or R word though. Crazy, Ho' Republican.
If you need to label anyone else, just ask. Oh wait, sarcasm doesn't translate via text does it?

Sir and Ma'am seem to work pretty well for all races. :dunno:
Side note: most of the Black students I teach hate the term African American. They prefer Black.

In Italy isn't the proper way to call them Mulignan? Italy only. In England it's African-American again.

Molignon: Derived from Italian dialect word for "eggplant". ... also a slang term used in place of ****** ... an epithet for black people, primarily used by Italian-Americans.
As we all know Italians just LOVE the darker skinned races...

Gotcha. I get called Onion Head because of my shaved head. Time to petition the Urban Dictionary to let them know how outraged I've been the whole time.
I don't know anyone who uses that term unless it's in reported speech. In England we say "black." Apart from the racists, who have their own collection of terms, obviously.
It's a fucking stupid phrase, because you have no idea if there is any African heritage involved at all if you're just saying "look at the hat that African-American chap is wearing." They could be fifth generation Chicagoan whose family originally came from Jamaica or bloody anything with no ties to Africa at all.

So you are saying that racism is not about words, it is about intentions. I like that.
So Zdenka, call them however your English language knowledge and your good faith suggest you to and if they get offended send them to fuck off or call them racist. You don't have to be liked by all the blacks out there, like you are not liked by all the whites and yellows and reds. There are a lot of intelligent black people out there who can discern good from bad intentions behind words pretty well. I say that should be your target of people to socialize with, no matter their "race".
Good luck and enjoy the trip.

I know. I think the term African-American is silly because they wouldn't know how to call their cousins in France or England or somewhere else. I want a World without hyphens. If I used that term on anyone I would reserve it for my gym buddy from Ghana who's lived in America for about 10 years. If I called him that he'd probably grin and wonder why I was being so formal.

Negrito sounds very quaint but I prefer something with a little more, shall we say, "zazz?"

This is a crazy idea but how about calling them by their individual names and treating them like any another human being without putting emphasis on their race. Or call them anything you just said and please film them punching you in the face and put it up in this thread.
