minus-squarecreamfresh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up40·23 hours agois saying black in Spanish derogatory language?
minus-squareGladaed@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up13·23 hours agoNo. But implying it is bad to say it clearly does refer to calling black people n*s. At least in competent english speakers.
minus-squareRampantParanoia2365@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·20 hours ago…no shit. It’s a joke about being hyper aware of offensive language just like you are now.
minus-squareFurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-223 hours agoThey use the n-word for the black color in Spanish… Feels weird to say it ngl
minus-squareshweddy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up47·23 hours agoits just a Spanish word. negro is not the n word. negro in English is a slur and still isnt the n word
minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·20 hours agoI didn’t realize it was now considered derogatory rather than just old-fashioned.
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up3·21 hours agoNitpick: 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.”
minus-squareJanx@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·22 hours agoAnd “n*gga” is a term of solidarity black people can choose to use and still isn’t the n-word!
minus-squarelividweasel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·23 hours agoThey… don’t though. “Black” in Spanish is “negro/negra”, said with an “e” like in “pet”.
minus-squareFurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·20 hours agoExactly ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro
minus-squarelividweasel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·17 hours agoI’m sorry, you think “negro” is the n-word?
minus-squareArcadeep@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·18 hours ago… No, they don’t. It’s pretty ignorant and kinda racist in itself to even make that assumption
minus-squareRampantParanoia2365@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-220 hours agoThat would be because you would be saying it wrong if you pronounce it the same way, so yeah, that would be pretty weird.
