While the N-word is considered offensive to many (or most) countries, according to Wikipedia, in Latin and Spanish, Negro is the word for “black” and is the only way to refer to that color.
For the hard-of-hearing like me, I have a difficult time differentiating between the spoken N-word and negro, and I don’t always know if someone is using the word in an offensive way or not.
Awfully sensitive, these Nebraskans.
The enword is a good example of a slur. It is taking a certain innocuous word, Spanish for ‘black’ and deliberately mispronouncing it in order to create an effect.
With that said, the notion that if the speaker of the word is caucasian it gives any African hearer a ‘free punch’ has got to go. Hope this a-clown never gets to work around kids again.
“, Negro is the word for “black” and is the only way to refer to that color.”
Being that I had two years of Spanish I, I knew this. I never considered that “Negro” as the actual word the child used.
Thanks to Terrence’s video and we now know the child was hispanic that sheds new light on everything.
