When I was a child I was strongly informed by my grandmother and mother that "nigger" was an unacceptable word. "Nigra" was proper. I suspect "nigra" is probably even worse than "nigger" now. Then it became "negro". Then it was "colored people" (still used by the NAACP). And still later, "blacks".
Is "blacks" still politically correct?
