Do you find being called "black" offensive?

Right on, never thought I'd actually see evidence in this thread. Skimming through that, it looks like the term negroid was not racist by origin but was affiliated with racist theories (though a lot of those don't sound racist to me, I think Tumblr might have overtaken wiki).

I think the term racist science is clearly an antiquated theory at best. And I agree with the Negroid discussion it was an anthropological study tool for Sub Saharan categorization of people. I think we have to view two sides of the coin to get to the heart of the matter. Were I an African American would the term bother me? Hell no because i'm smarter then that. PC bull**** if you ask me.

I think of negroid as a scientific term. Lots of people think of it as a scientific term. Some people think of it as a slur. Just because some think of it as a slur doesn't make the people who think of it as a scientific term wrong. Or bad.
