It is interesting these groups spend so much time worrying over what they will be called. There was a time when “Black” was offensive. They insisted on colored, then negro, then black, then afro-American. Jews never worry about what they are called. Asians seldom worry about what they are called, they simply get the grades, the scholarships, the jobs and go about their business.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Negro’ in Spanish...Black?

As I recall during the race riots in High School, the answer was irrelevant. Whatever a targeted person said would be wrong.
