And here is interesting, as politically correct to call rosseyskih blacks ..
|
The same word in one language may sound contemptuous (estimated), and in the other - absolutely neutral (bezotsenochno). For example, a "Jew" in the Russian language is neutral, "Jew" - contemptuously. The Polish żyd - neutral. In Warsaw, there
Żydowski Instytut Historyczny w Polsce - Jew Institute, and nothing - it is a polite name, no one frowns.
The same with blacks: in Russia, "Negro" neutral word - as in the United States nigger contempt. By the way, I was once amazed that there is black is considered more polite word than nigger. We have the word "black" there is exactly the opposite. (And when the Day in Russia, in America, as you know, night
).
But in general I have no friends Russian Negroes, they would have to ask what they think about it. Maybe they do not rush to "afrorossiyane"
).
I did not feel sorry for write Tallinn, and I have learned to speak "in Ukraine." I have quite a Ukrainian friends and I'm there sometimes. I see no harm in that turn to people as they themselves prefer - if it does not require too much violence on themselves.
But all this is primarily a matter of personal taste, we have to enforce political correctness is not accepted.
