Moroccan native moor misclassified as black, African American negro watch was word Negro was adopted from Spanish and Portuguese and first recorded from the mid 16th century. It remained the standard term throughout the 17thβ19th centuries and was used by such prominent African American campaigners as W. E. B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington in the early 20th century. Since the of the 1960s, however, when the term black was as the term to express racial pride, Negro has dropped out of favor and now seems out of date or even offensive in both US and British English. The 2010 US Census questionnaire was criticized when it retained the racial designation Negro as an option (along with black and African Am.). The Census Bureau defended its decision, citing the 2000 Census forms, on which more than 56,000 individuals handwrote βNegroβ (even though it was already on the form). Apparently, Negro continues to be the identity strongly preferred by some Americans. See also usage at black.
