  • What's the PC status of 'negro'?

    As in my mother saying that thinks 'there must be negro blood somewhere in our family' because I have very curly hair?

    My gf says its dodge, I think it's kosher, my mums not racist in slightest but could be a generation ting.

  • On the "Meet the UKIPers" documentary, even they chucked somebody out for using it on camera. Definitely not PC, but definitely a generational issue where people over about 60 would use it as a descriptive without any negative connotation.

    There's almost certainly negro blood in all our families, even disregarding the general 'out of Africa' story of humans 60,000 years ago, there has been enough miscegenation in Europe since Roman times to make sure we're all fairly well mixed.
