总能从你的贴子里学到东西。
但是，对黑人的称呼，就是 BLACK ，绝对不能用 DARK.对黑人称呼的演变，以前的以前 BLACK 是蔑称，要称为 NEGRO(ES)。后来又变了，说 BLACK IS BEAUTY .NEGRO 反而是不敬了。现在比较保险正规的称呼是非裔美国人。
怎么称呼别人？还是先不要瞎称呼，看看他们自己如何称呼，他们彼此之间如何称呼再说。原住民很多人就不喜欢别人称他们印第安人，他们喜欢 THE ABORIGINAL,THE 1ST NATION .THE NATIVES,或者具体地 MOHAWK.
我本人很反感别人称我为 CHINOIS，我会很冷地纠正：CALL ME BRUCE,PLEASE.I HAVE THE NAME OF MY OWN.一般说来，记住对方的名字，直呼其名，是最友好的表现，完全没有辈份，年资的区别。
PS:
The term black was used throughout but not frequently since it carried a certain stigma. In his 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech,[6] Martin Luther King, Jr. uses the terms negro fifteen times and black four times. Each time he uses black it is in parallel construction with white, for example, "black men and white men."[7]
With the successes of the civil rights movement, a new term was needed to break from the past and help shed the reminders of legalized discrimination. In place of Negro, activists promoted the use of black as standing for racial pride, militancy, and power. Some of the turning points included the use of the term "Black Power" by Kwame Toure (Stokely Carmichael) and the popular singer James Brown's song "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud".
