[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Yes, and labels also vary over time. As in Sweden where I live. In the viking age dark skinned people were called "blamadr" (blue men), or "svartur" (black). Then labels like "Moor" or "Morian" started to get used. In the 17th century the word "neger" (Negro) started to get used. Interestingly enough free Africans living in Sweden often were called "morian" in the 18th and early 19th centuries centuries, while slaves in the colony Saint-Barthélemy were called "negroes". Roma peoples were sometimes called "black", sometimes "dark" Today "Negro" are nearly not used anymore. Some use black, but also brown and dark skinned are used. Or more more commonly ethnicity names like Afro-Swede, African, African American, Somali and so on. An old word is "black head" which can be anyone with black hair. When a person looks angry we sometimes call it "mörk" (dark). As you say it is no real consistency in the name use. [/QB][/QUOTE]
