Negro is defining a race of people from Africa, it is not outdated and never will be as it is a true dictionary definition; nothing racist.
Limey was a nickname givem to British sailors who were given Limes as part of their diet at sea to prevent scurvey.
Affro American, coon and nigger are not true terms although Nigger is defined in the 'Oxford Dictionary as Negro, dark skinned person.
Negroes are from Africa just as Pele's origins are; all/most came over as slaves but they are still Negroes.
In England it is taken one stupid step further as they are now British Affro Caribeans, but still Negroes.
To call them that is not racist.
