    In Spanish we ask for a café negro or café negrito all the time and guess how many people are offended about it? Zero.

      Nobody is offended by it in English, either. This comic is, y’know, a joke.

        Believe it or not, I’ve met two white people, both from the Southern U.S., who would look around and whisper the word “black” when they used it. When talking about black people, but also in other contexts.

      I’m guessing you don’t remember a few years back when a YouTuber got upset about a country called “Montenegro”?

      Never underestimate the power of Americans to get offended, especially on another’s behalf.

      I’m also pretty sure the N word got derived from that general base of “negro = black”.

      Because you don’t suffer from the White Savior Industrial Complex and its’ war on words.

      Won’t you please think of the poor rich white people who are certain that everybody is weak and offended by everything?
