minus-squarecreamfresh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up41·3 days agois saying black in Spanish derogatory language?
minus-squareGladaed@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down5·3 days 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-up11arrow-down1·3 days ago…no shit. It’s a joke about being hyper aware of offensive language just like you are now.

minus-squareshweddy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up50arrow-down1·3 days 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-up3·3 days agoI didn’t realize it was now considered derogatory rather than just old-fashioned.
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·3 days 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-up1·3 days 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-up29·3 days agoThey… don’t though. “Black” in Spanish is “negro/negra”, said with an “e” like in “pet”.
minus-squareFurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·3 days agoExactly ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro
minus-squarelividweasel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 days agoI’m sorry, you think “negro” is the n-word?
minus-squareRampantParanoia2365@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-23 days agoThat would be because you would be saying it wrong if you pronounce it the same way, so yeah, that would be pretty weird.
minus-squareArcadeep@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·3 days ago… No, they don’t. It’s pretty ignorant and kinda racist in itself to even make that assumption
