Hi!

I was watching Antiques Roadshow on TV this morning.
Therein was a small carved piece depicting a black man and it was 
made around 1800.
The word they used to describe it could be the answer for the perfect 
next PC word for black people.
It's much less cumbersome that 'African American'.
Indeed, you don't need to be either African or American...

Ironically, it's another 'N' word, but I think that it sounds rather grand...
...and it's one of the oldest words to refer to black people...

'Nubian'.

Earl.
