The term was not racist for the time, but anything related to the word negro has gained the capacity to be used as a slur because times have changed. It sounds racist to you because of cultural norms that have stigmatized words relating to racial slurs, regardless of their original use and intent.
So please stop bashing science.

Nice response
But regardless the technical terminology of the word, I still believe science is discriminatory against minorities. I study a social science so I know this.
Also, I am not interpreting the word as "racist"
I have seen it used a racial slur.
