Ok, I see ukit's point. Calling a typeface "Negro" and doing that lorem ipsum CAN be looked upon as a provocation, but I don't think it is the case.
"Negro" is a word that relates to "darkness", "evil", "strangeness", etc. That's the meaning of the word. Sure.
What I just don't see is why every time anyone uses the word "negro" it does have to relate to black people, or come across as a racial issue. Why? Why bring that up? Not everything people do has to do with racial issues and politics. Do you see my point?

My point is this thread, the episode itself and the associated troubles do not exist. It stems from misunderstanding or taking a word for something it never meant.
See my point? Most troubles do not exist.
