Negro denotes ‘black’ in Spanish and Portuguese, derived from the Latin word niger, meaning ‘black’
the USA slavers used the derogatory (or pejorative) diminutive (removed) to belittle and dehumanize the black slaves that Spanish and Portuguese slavers sold to them.
the name of this monster is not weird outside of USA.
I understand that France is not Spanish.
what I said was that those words are not bad word in their own language and we should not ban words because of anther country’s fucked up society.
also good for Brazilians for changing that and using another word for it because that word has intimatecultural roots in their country (biggest slave population was not USA but Brazil (almost half of them)). so Brazil (if they want to) can use that word. but spain doesnt have to. (but it can of course do so).
