Negro used to be perfectly ok as well. It is merely the Spanish word for black. The feminine derivative - negress - was also fine.... but would nowadays be considered both racist and sexist!
Worth noting that the Latin for black is niger (with one 'g'). It is interesting how words, formerly inoffensive, can become offensive.......... and vice-versa! |
