Definition
黑人 is the standard Chinese term for a Black person or Black people. It is a neutral noun in most contexts, though like any racial descriptor, sensitivity depends on tone and context. It is used in discussions of race, culture, and identity. Be aware that the English gloss 'negro' is outdated and offensive; the modern equivalent is 'Black person' or 'Black people'.
