Since we're on the topic, I'm genuinely curious about what Black people think about the use of "negro" and "negra" in countries where those words simply mean "black" because of Spanish colonization, unlike in the US where "Negro" has a much heavier historical association.
In my country, especially among the older generation, people still use "negro" and "negra" to refer to black people. They're generally not used with the same racist intent or historical baggage that those words have in the US the terms come from Spanish, where "negro" literally means "black," and they're just some of the many Spanish words that stayed in our vocabulary because of our country's long history of Spanish colonization.
The Nword, especially the hard R version, has never really been part of our local vocabulary. Most people here who use it today probably learned it from Western media, music, movies, or the internet. Based on my experience, when people here use the N word or the hard R version, it's usually meant as a derogatory slur.
That said, context still matters when it comes to how "negro" and "negra" are used but like many words, they can still be used in an offensive way depending on the person's intent, tone, and the situation. So I'm curious how do black people feel about the use of these words in countries where they're part of the local language and don't have the same history as they do in the US?
And yes, I'm using an alt account for this because I don't want to deal with the public stoning if this question goes wrong

Bros we need to protest to get our rights as BL readers who want variety.
WE NEED MORE ACTION WITH BL!
There may be many BL manhuas with action but it is totally rare in manhwas and mangas. THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO PROTEST.
We need Isekai yaoi, Adventure + yaoi, Anyways more serious stuff + yaoi.
What do you think?

We've have a bad year and all and keeping distance to friends or relatives is a tad hard but there are always those times that someone asks a stupid question that you can't believe that they don't know the answer or just in general that it makes you suprised/annoyed. (It's not the educational/school questions too)
Do you have that person? Cause I sure have and they ask the stupidest questions that even a 5 years old could answer!

So having shit memory really sucks because I dont remember shit.
I could wake up like "Ah that was such a good dream.....What dream?"
LIKE I'll forget dreams that were probably fuckin fantastic BUT I'LL REMEMBER BEING CHASED BY A TENTACLE MONSYETER?!?!?!
WHYYYY?
I just wanna know who can relate. Maybe share the dream that sticks with you.

why body shame [insert name] for something she cant help? say shes needs to look more like you when you have nothing yourself but looks thats it. the personality is shitty as fuck so thats all shes gonna get out of it nothing else. stop fishing for compliments everyday too shits mad aggravating why fish when you get compliments everyday? back to the bodyshaming one you told her shes "fat" then "too skinny" and "needs to gain weight" sis maam she has fast metabolism and on top of that cheers not to mention shes hella insecure about her body and you never know if someone has eating problems.
girls are with girls until its about weight, looks, curves, etc. it disgusts me to the core.
