Nitpick: Negro is pretty bad but it’s not a slur per se, more of a case where the terminology evolved. The slur is the N-word. Which is to say: My not very informed impression is that even racists don’t use the word “negro.”
Hard disagree. Languages differ and can be unintentionally offensive if people lack context and that is kinda funny. It plays on the joke in the comic of the person ordering really overthinking things instead of being aware that context makes ordering a black coffee a neutral thing.
The title builds on the joke and is pretty funny. Negro as used in Spanish isn’t offensive.
… Why would you say that(referring to the title). Just makes people use derogatory language in their head for the lulz.
is saying black in Spanish derogatory language?
No. But implying it is bad to say it clearly does refer to calling black people n*s. At least in competent english speakers.
…no shit. It’s a joke about being hyper aware of offensive language just like you are now.
They use the n-word for the black color in Spanish… Feels weird to say it ngl
its just a Spanish word. negro is not the n word. negro in English is a slur and still isnt the n word
I didn’t realize it was now considered derogatory rather than just old-fashioned.

And “n*gga” is a term of solidarity black people can choose to use and still isn’t the n-word!
They… don’t though.
“Black” in Spanish is “negro/negra”, said with an “e” like in “pet”.
Exactly ?

I’m sorry, you think “negro” is the n-word?
… No, they don’t. It’s pretty ignorant and kinda racist in itself to even make that assumption
That would be because you would be saying it wrong if you pronounce it the same way, so yeah, that would be pretty weird.

And that joke is racist/unacceptable.

Do you mean because that’s you ordering in the comic? Because apparently that’s you ordering in the comic.
Holy shit, that person thought of a racist word in their head! Get 'em!
It seems you’ve fallen right into my trap
