Talk:zenci

derogatory?

@Efekankorpez can you explain why you did that change? in turkish, the use of "zenci" has never been derogatory afaik. Moonpulsar (talk) 13:26, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

There is a whole debate on this, meaning that there are many who find the usage derogatory.

Siyahi is a word without derogatory connotations. Efekankorpez (talk) 14:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

You most likely do use it as the default word to refer to black people in informal contexts (as most people do), but it would be inappropriate to use it in formal contexts, or simply when the person you're talking to is black. Efekankorpez (talk) 14:50, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
