RE: January 2012

Hi Sweder,
Just to comment on the Luis Suarez debate. "Negro" in Spanish can be translated as "black guy" and certainly doesn't have the implications that the word might contain in English. Notice that from the dialogues between Colombians and Brazilians of all shades who live in my own neighbourhood.

"Neegro" in English sounds offensive. It might sound like some reference to slavery. "Negro" in Spanish with the short "i" sound is just a reference to colour. Context and tone is everything but most of the time it's no big deal. Would be interested to hear Antonio's opinion on this one.

Glad to read that you're back on the trails!
