Its Not a New Word but I thought It had Died Out.

I was told that a Negro was a Black person, OK I heard it on MNBC CBS and others. Ok what do you call a person who is part Negro. No one I know has the answer. Half and Half. Anyone?

A friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, a doctor, a police officer or fire fighter ... do you get it now?

 

[Aba Incieni]

Or quadroon.

That's 1/4 negro. One mulatto parent and one white.

who is India, China, Irish, and Scot.

Indians, Irish, and Scots are nationalities and not races.

Someone who is black/white/and Chinese mixed would be called as such.

If they were a US citizen, they'd be called "American."

I had a black/Chinese guy try to rip me off once. I was like "Okay, you gotta sign this contract, though." He was like "No No NO."

And I was like: "No me worky for you, sheister."

Dickwads come in all races and creeds.

That wasn't the question.

Yes. Naturalized citizen. Ex-pat who lives in her homeland.

Pretty much every description out there fits me.

When I was a kid, prior to civil rights, Negro and colored were standard references for blacks. ****** was even a casual reference and not always necessarily an epithet. In the WWII story of the Dambusters, the code word for the mission's success was ****** as it was the name of the commander's black Labrador retriever.
NAACP and UNCF still incorporate the terms colored and negro as they predate civil rights.
Upon civil rights, the push to use the term black to replace negro and colored was in order to create a greater air of equality to the term white.
Race-hustlers weren't satisfied so they pushed further to create the ultra-arrogant misnomer African-American.

When someone refers to their self as "African American" my first thought is I wonder what part of Africa they immigrated from?

Lots of Libyans and Moroccans are Caucasian and not Afroid.

According to the negro's here in USMB, its a bad word. Never mind the NAACP. That doesn't count. But the n word is bad and so is the negro word. Bad. BAD. Yet its ok for other blacks to say the n word and negro.

 

[boilermaker55]

Like all those drunken people on St. Patrick's Day that want to go around and yell about their heritage.
Irish-American.
Those idiots, most are probably red necks.

Just call them what conservatives called Obama all this time -- a n*gg*r, a monkey, an ape, etc etc etc

If you are someone who truly has a problem with what to call people who are mixed with black and any other race --- you need a hobby...

 

[ABikerSailor]

Mulatto.

^This.

Mulatto, or "mixed". There was such a mix of races in my neighborhood, wow.

What do you call somebody that's Black, White, Thai, and Indian? Yeah, idk either.

What do you call someone who is mixed race across several ethnic varieties?

Heinz 57.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Mulatto.

Ok Never heard that word before. What do you call a person who is India, China, Irish, and Scot. ???? Really would like to know. My friend told me OTHER. Is this true.

Or quadroon.

That's 1/4 negro. One mulatto parent and one white.

who is India, China, Irish, and Scot.

Again, the answer to both of those is Heinz 57.

Partisan broadbrush much? Grouping entire people into a group is something a racist does.
