    In fact the English "negro" derives from the Portuguese "negro" (whoa, go figure). The word "negro", which has a ton of different uses, can actually be used to describe something "african" but only as an ethnic epithet, with no negative or positive quality to it.

    • Unlike "black", which can be seen as a racial slur. Or not. It all depends on the intonation.Corvo2
    • In America, black is not a slur, but negro is (although it's been replaced by nigger)ukit
