[edit] "Negro"
I'm willing to concede that your recent addition at Negro is probably accurate, so I won't mess with it, but do you have any citations for any of this? -- Jmabel | Talk 23:33, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
My addition is based on reading newspapers in several languages over many years which are not easy to cite. But discussions about the topic are easy to find and here are some links. Sorry, none of them are in English (my comment was about discussions in foreign languages).
In Finnish : Is the word 'neekeri' offensive? http://www.verkkouutiset.fi/arkisto/Arkisto_1999/19.marraskuu/nekr4699.htm
