You're better than this.

Nigger is a noun in the English language. The word originated as a neutral term referring to black people, as a variation of the Spanish/Portuguese noun negro, a descendant of the Latin adjective niger ("color black").

Quite the same shit.

And just for your kind attention, find in green "negro" which is a variation of nigger.

Anything to add Captain Negro?

I didn't say with whom I was agreeing. It can actually apply to both of you. If name-calling is something people should just get over, I'm not banning for racism or sexism. If there's some arbitrary distinction between racism and sexism and homophobia based on what people think rather than logic, then I'm not banning for racism or sexism.

Whichever position I support, it's the same.

That was iRobot's Borat style troll. He used "Capitán Negro" which is "Captain Black" in Spanish.


So ... ehm, did you call him Captain N-word then? How about a 7-day ban?

And still I find izumo's stance pointless because on the Internet you can find anything and its opposite. You should just ban both or ban none. And yes, negro means nigger in italian and other neolatin languages.

Thank you for the spanish course but I'm fully aware about what negro means in spanish. As wikipedia says nigger is a variation of negro which makes negro highly connoted.
But apparently iRobot can troll as much as he wants without no one giving a flying poop.

If someone says 'mi coche es negro', is it being racist?

troll elsewhere.

And what? You see it: this looks like / could be used as n-word, let's give a shit what it actually is and ban just in case? That's like some sort of "blasphemy". This is exactly how it looks like when the ban hammer is too loose.

No trolling here. I'm just pointing out the flaws in your argument.

According to you, all Spanish people are by definition, racists.
