It is interesting to note that such words as Black and Negro are synonymous in the words of the world today.

This global syntax in word meanings shows that the majority of languages still look at these words thru racist eyes.

The Dutch and the Germans both think of the words Black and Negro in the same context and even have similar spellings.
