I believe the word we'd decided upon was Afroe not Afro. Zahir 06:59, 30 January 2006 (PST)

OK, I've corrected that Abdul-aziz 07:48, 30 January 2006 (PST)
Hmm, I don't recall that the Castilian speaking countries would've simply dropped Negro because Afroe is the less offensive term. I think Kristian and I actually argued that the term is not inherently offensive. Doobieous 17:48, 30 January 2006 (PST)
Re-reading the article I didn't get the impression that it was referring to Castillian-speaking countries so much as simply the NAL itself. But maybe I'm wrong. Zahir 21:22, 30 January 2006 (PST)
Well, I got the impression by the wording here: "but never made it into English usage as is virtually unused now", so if it never made it into English, why would it be unused now, if the Castilian speaking countries aren't being referred here? Maybe we're both wrong? Doobieous 21:55, 30 January 2006 (PST)

Shouldn't this be under the singular form? Nik 21:43, 30 January 2006 (PST)

What I meant is that word "Negro" was barely every used in English. It was and is used in Castillian though. Abdul-aziz 23:12, 30 January 2006 (PST)
