I have a friend who refers to himself as
Negroid, or just
'Groid for short. He refers to his mother as a
Negress. I think he does it for reaction, so I don't follow his usage. When I speak about him, he's
my friend, not
my black friend.
I'm Latino, but for the most part I just refer to myself as
American. I'm a US citizen, so I'm entitled to that designation. When race is germane to the conversation, I don't mind
Latino or
Hispanic or, more specifically,
Cuban. Understandably, I don't care for
Greaser.
