In ex-USSR at least, and, I bet, in many spanish speaking countries, word "negr" or "negros" refers to any dark-skinned person without any baggage of slavery, diminishing mental capabilities or anything like that. (Word "nigger" is not really used in ex-USSR except may be some teen groups who listen too much to rap music, and still does not carry same baggage)
Why these immigrants should be shamed for use of these words, why some should be offended by words?
Intent should matter. And if bad intent is not there - there should be no judgement. That how empathy works both ways.
