I was called a "Negroid" once by the grandfather of one of my college "friends." Apparently he had been racking his brain for the least offensive thing possible and decided that "Negroid" was the way to go because it sounded scientific. He went on and on about how us Negroids don't like cold weather, as evidenced by his vacation in Negril, Jamaica, where it's hot all the time, but many Negroids still wear winter hats.
