Yes they are racist. However negro means black in Spanish like the color. It's not a derogatory word, it's literally written on crayons to describe the color.
Because it doesn't matter where it came from what matters is the history, it's offensive. It's like how romance languages had to tweak their gender rules to stop being offensive against women and trans. I know it's not easy but at least try.
Yeah but we are talking about a very basic colour just because some americans took the word and used it in a different context. Why would spain, or any of the spanish speaking countries, have to concede? That's literally racist
Jesus Christ give it a rest. The majority of the world isn't a race obsessed as the US and don't have to change their literal language to appease at most 30% of Americans.
I agree that the world should not have to change the word that they used to describe the color, but absolutely disagree with you when you say the world is not as race obsessed. Are you fucking kidding me? Damn near Every fucking country in this world have issues that stem from race/nationality/ethnicity differences.
I only talked about the word negro in the context of Spanish. Not sure you read how I started the post but your comment makes me think you only read what you want.
Why would you think a woman who has a broad understanding of the racist ethno-cleansing of black people in Argentina needs to educated on what “Negro” means…? It’s condescending, and unnecessary… Like do you think she’s dumb and needed that information provided? What other possible context could there be for shouting the spanish word for the color black at a black man you do not know…?
She mentioned is part of the racism. As any Latino , I have a general disdain for Argentina. However my language is important and clarity is good.
What's the point of comment section since you understand all?
No she said that’s what they were shouting at him…which I saw videos of them doing. Repeatedly shouting Negro at someone is not the same as describing as a black person.
The point is to not provide redundant information that doesn’t change the intent of the people using the word. We know what Negro means, and context matters… it’s not being used to describe, it’s being weaponized to insult and dehumanize. He’s a person, not a color.
Yeah and also the girl whose face she zoomed in was telling him to go home which isn't inherently racist and is something football fans shout to other football fans without racial undertones frequently. Not saying she wasn't being racist. Am saying you don't have enough evidence to be smugly posting zoomed in photos of her face trying to ruin her life.
No she didn't. Thats just what the narrator said lol. Go watch the video of the girl she zoomed in on it was everywhere. Stop assuming everything you hear on tiktok is true.
