She should know that ‘negro’ is denigrated these days.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if "denigrated" is eventually banned, because it comes from the Latin word "niger," which means "black."

I’ll have to apply for a gov’t grant where I can take skin samples of all races including mixed. I want to research to see what skin color is the thinnest. I think I have the answer, I just need to prove it. Any dermatologist on board to help with this research?

Try using the word "niggardly" sometime and see what happens.

Niggardly isn't even derived from the Latin word for black. It is derived from the Scandanavian word for miserly. But it sounds too much like "nigger" so it must be racist.
