Same thing with the word "black". I find "black people" equally as offensive, considering African American's* (p/c :-P) aren't actually black
The very word 'negro' or 'nigger' are early variants of neger, negar -- which derive from the Spanish and Portugese word 'negro', or "black."
*The term "African American" is ridiculous and long-winded -- and in itself is racist because it segregates what type of "American" you are.

As I understood, "Nigger" came from "Negro" and "Necro"
basically describing black as nothing....
