[J]

I don’t know if you should be offended. The languages of Western Europe are filled with negative references to ‘Black.’ In some cases, the negativity represents a cultural orientation to the color – and things associated with blackness – night, the unknown, the feminine principle. In most respects, Western cultures are opposed to these elements. The question of race is a part of this as well. It’s must deeper than a cultural aversion to Black folks. Rather than being offended, I might suggest you revel in this deep-seated expression of superstition from the rational West. There is more humor here than harm – especially if you can use language to your advantage. Etymology is a great tool.
