Calling someone a Moreno or Negrito for the most part seems ok, but The use of Prieto in reference to skin color is derogatory.

Very interesting blog & discussion! Back in the day, I was a hippie chick while I was a elementary teacher! I never thought there was anything wrong with peace, love and understanding, to quote Elvis Costello. I encountered, for the first time in my sheltered white life, extreme prejudice! I was always hurt and embarrassed by the attitudes of people who would consider me dirty and/ or unethical. But would day I watched a friend deal with a person who called us freaks . He grinned broadly, patted his chest/ heart with both hands and crowed proudly, ” That’s me! I’m a Frrreeakkk! “. It was so amiable, so funny, so proud that I was never ashamed of being a hippie freak again. I learned to embrace my own – no matter what I was. I taught this lesson to my daughter. As any good parent would!

Those terms are insults, no matter the intention behind them. It’s like calling somebody a “darkie.” It’s still the 19th century in some places!

My dad always called my brother “sambo” or “Moreno” because of his curls and because he was darker than we were, but it was always as a term of endearment.
With skin cancer and so many people spending money on tanning, people that are naturally able to tan and naturally darker should be able to flaunt their skin!!

In terms of the word “prieto” since I mostly hear it used by my husband’s family in a derogatory way about African-Americans, my perception is that it is a negative word even though I realize that it can be used in a positive way. I get sick to my stomach when I hear about “mejorando la raza” and all that as I see it very clearly in my husband’s family, the preference for lighter complexions (which ironically includes my sons) which is just ridiculous. My daughter is olive complexioned and is gorgeous and I will do everything I can to instill a positive view of her skin color in her.

If you ask me, this is less about getting to dark but more about skin cancer awareness… when I was little, my parents were one of the few people who would use sunscreen, and now, people are afraid of getting a tan because now, in their minds, tan= too much sun=possible skin cancer. This being said, calling somebody by their skin colour is not always offensive, I think it is more about the intention behind the words that can be offensive…

Good discussion. I’ve recently had this discussion with my little ones too. My mom told them they were “black” from the sun and they couldn’t understand that at all. She told them they were gonna get “too black” being out in the sun and said it as a derogatory thing…it’s difficult in one conversation to help them understand that getting darker isn’t a bad thing, but that some people think it is.
