I was called a "Negroid" once by the grandfather of one of my college "friends."
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.
