Well, negro was an accepted/proper word, preferrable to black up until the 1960's when the Black Power movement abandoned it in favor of black, though it was still used on the 2010 US census because some older African American citizens identified with the word.  So, in the context of the game world, it's not really as derogatory as the other word.  So, I guess it depends on intent, maybe?<br/><br/>The n- word is derived from<em>niger</em>, which is black in Portuguese, Italian and Spanish, essentially, at it's heart and origin, a mispronunciation </Cliff Clavin moment>.
