But what would be the PC way to describe a black person in Spanish?
I was talking in Spanish to a Swedish friend the other day about an American friend who had just left and was trying to remind him he had met that person, so I described him as "...negro, negrito" to which I was aware an Argentine friend listening crinkled her face.
Afro-Americano? Or is Negro fine?
In this case negro o negrito is discriminator, "moreno" is more convenient and affectionate.
