The two are very closely linked, Stan

Didn't Suarez use the word 'Negro' to Patrice Evra and get done for racism whilst playing for us?

Didn't the club also make T-shirts in support of Suarez?

I'm not quite as gifted with a football as him so they make take another stance with me.

I believe it was "negrito"

Quoted from Wiki:

"(in Latin American counties)...the diminutive negrito can be used, as a term of endearment meaning pal, buddy or friend. Negrito has come to be used to refer to a person of any ethnicity or color, and also can have a sentimental or romantic connotation similar to sweetheart, or dear in English..."

Depends which search result you get.

"Negro is considered somewhat offensive in the United States."

The easy solution would be to address the person by their actual name.

Defending koptalk's 'resident racist' doesn't do you any favours. Why don't you pop into town later and start calling black people Negroes? Come back tomorrow and tell us all about how 'unoffended' they were.......providing you're not in prison or hospital.....

It all comes down to the context in which any term is used - where as in this case that username is not even remotely racist. PC do gooders need to have their head read with some of their ridiculous overeactions.

As a black person I have no problems with the term, so long as the context isn't derogatory.

I think he's more upset I called him a moron for his stupid comments.

And.."Resident Racist" some people...

I'm one of the least PC people you will ever come across, and I agree that context is all important. However, why have "mykneegrows/my negroes" as username unless you are a closet racist trying to communicate racial slurs 'under the radar'?
