    Wait, what would the problem be with asking for a café solo?

      ¿Cómo se dice “black” en español?

              It’s not taboo in Spanish. It’s literally how you say black.

              right, but if the dude in the comic gets nervous and has an issue saying black in English
              then it would be multiplied if he said it in Spanish

            Look, there’s half a billion of us and I’m not gonna reject the possibility that wherever you’re from people say “café negro” for some reason, but yeah, no, it’s “café solo” as far as I’m concerned. You might as well call café con leche “café beige”.

              My first time in Spain I asked for café negro and was corrected to say con leche. Not in a ‘that’s racist’ kind of way, but in a ‘that is inaccurate, even though we understand’ way.

                “Café negro” (which I’ve never heard for black coffee) would be “Café solo” or “Café sin leche” (literally, “coffee by itself”, or “coffee without milk”). “Café con leche” would be coffee with milk, which definitely is not black coffee.

                  Ok I remembered wrong. It must have been sin leche that they corrected me with. It was a long time ago and I haven’t spoke any Spanish since!
