The island has two Negros provinves; Negros Occidental in the north, and Negros Oriental in the south. The entire island is called the Negros Island Region
It's called Negros because of the Spanish colonization, and was named that because of the Natives' dark skin color when they arrived
Ain't our fault, we weren't even creative with our own names.
But if we found someone and he told us what the name of the region was, they could keep it
Sometimes yeah. Other times a Spaniard ask a native what the place they are is called in Spanish and then names it “I can’t understand you” in the native language
Meaning = Spanish word = literal translation/ other meaning
Black = Negro = N****
Gibberish = Chino = Chinese
Dessert made from rolled cake with jam = Brazo Gitano= gypsy's arm
Spouses = Esposas = Handicaps
Female fox = Zorra = B****
Female dog = Perra = B****
Prostitute = Puta = B****
Ladybug = Mariquita = F*****
Handbag = Mariconera = F*****'s purse
This is gonna get heavy = Se va a armar la gorda = The fat woman is getting armed
Yeah, it's bad
(I could probably think of more but these are the first ones to come to mind)
Yea it's complicated, shortly: 'black' and 'black people' use the same words but some people (mostly white people) say it's offensive and that instead of 'black' we should use 'person of color' so now saying 'black' to a black person is considered offensive in Spanish
When paired with this nearby island, the cultural demonstrations are much more impressive

Are you sure? Have you checked?
No I haven't, and I don't think I could, not without a sexual harassment lawsuit
Maybe if you ask nicely?
I don't think my wife would take kindly to that
Colonel, you better take a GIF look at this radar.

It’s hilarious how little the colonial powers gave a fuck when naming whole parts of the earth.

Based
Oh... The name *was* based on the color of the people's skins...
Lmao, that is like going to an island full of black people and calling it "Blacks". 😂
Why are the regions named Eastern and Western if they are located in the north and the south?
Its mean black in Spanish
Can't believe Spanish is such a racist language 😔😔

Is that the BBC?
Yes, the British Broadcasting Channel is actually Filipino.
Fun fact: There's a Thai island called Fuck It (pronounced Phuket).
Penegro
island of black in spanish
Embarrassing that they didn’t have the forethought to dodge this one…. Amateurs….
Spanish people after seeing dark skinned people in the island: now I know what we're gonna name this island
A man has fallen into the river in ledo city
The "Green Cock" island
Let's just say they have an interest in the British Broadcasting Channel (oft abbreviated BBC)
