She should know that ‘negro’ is denigrated these days.

Heck, most teacher these days think the word "niggardly" is a racial slur. Amazing how the PC-Police have started outlawing words that can be mistaken for something else - dumbing down the citizens by limiting their vocabulary in the hopes that they will become as stupid as those who think they need to be oppressed.
