minus-squareshweddy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up47·1 day 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-up3·21 hours agoI didn’t realize it was now considered derogatory rather than just old-fashioned.
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up3·22 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-squarelividweasel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·1 day agoThey… don’t though. “Black” in Spanish is “negro/negra”, said with an “e” like in “pet”.

minus-squarelividweasel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·18 hours agoI’m sorry, you think “negro” is the n-word?
minus-squareArcadeep@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·19 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-221 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.
