If calling someone "black" is racist, what do you call them in Europe or Canada then?

A lot of weirdos think the word "black" is racist and would prefer to be called African Americans, so how are you suppose to describe them if they live or are from Europe or Canada?

I am a black guy from France. We would like to be addressed as "skinly different tanned people".

All other words including black are pretty much racist and oppressing.

referring to a black individual as 'black' isn't more racist than referring to a white individual as 'white.' The only people who would ever consider that racist are braindead radical liberal toddler adults that are fishing for causes to slit their wrists for. Nobody should give a modicum of a fuk about what these sheep believe.

The majority of black people I know would rather just be called black. I personally don't care either way as long as it's not the hard R of peace

African American is much more derogatory, IMO.

We don't call white people "European Americans".

I heard that black people in France were called "Dakar Noir". (No racist) It sounds pejorative yet haute couture at the same time.

Talking specifically to balkans - can't say much about Radiationland. No such thing there though. Maybe if you tell a tanned white dude that he is black - he would take it as being a gipsy lol.

In Africa we call blacks blacks, whites whites, and coloured coloreds. This goes for all races calling each other this.

... and no one is offended by it.


American blacks thinking its racist and calling themselves "african" is a joke. Its been like 10 generations since they african roots, which means I am personally more african that 99% of all black americans.

The German version of the n-word("neger") was never as much of a slur as in English(maybe it's more accurately translated into negro) and was probably the commonly used word for black people until the early 2000s. While nowadays considered politically incorrect old people and people speaking colloquially still use it quite regularily.

I guess "Schwarz"/"Black" is the word people most commonly use. For some time people used "farbig"/"colored" to be politically correct, but that term is now considered was worse than black. "Afrodetusch"/"Afro German" is often used by more politically correct people. It's common people mess up and call them "Afro-Amerikaner"/"Afro-Americans" though due to movies. Some groups have vouched for "Afrodiasporisch"/"Afro diasporic", but I never heard anyone say this in real life. Historically "Moor"/"Moore" was also quite common and is still used, but rarely.

In the end it's mostly "Schwarz"/"Black".
