For me, it's always hard when I talk to my Russian friends. Here, no matter what the "official PC" term is, "black" sounds OK. In Russian, saying "black" about a person of color is extremely derogatory (though the term usually refers to the people from the Caucus states because they tend to be darker-skinned than Russians; not to be confused with "Caucasian" as in white). OTOH, saying negro sounds perfectly OK. Gets quite confusing for me...
