You've just offended the Jamaican guy who doesn't have US citizenship.

That's okay, he won't be here for much longer come next year.

Literally no Latin or center American will be offended by the word negro

They didn't imply otherwise?

“Black” just works as a better term. It’s hilarious when people refer to black folks from other countries as “African American.”

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone offended by being called “black.”

If white is not offensive, why would black be offensive? It makes no sense.

"Black" being considered offensive was a thing in the late 90's, but it didn't last.

Yeah I remember an anecdote about two Americans on a beach referring to a black British man as something like "African American British" but it was even so long ago that I've forgot what they said exactly.
