minus-squareshweddy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up48arrow-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-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
