I was right.

"Homo" is a slur, "Homosexual" is what you are.
"Nigger" is a slur, "Negro" is what you are.
If you can come up with something else accurate and laconic, maybe it'll be worth considering. Not "Black", as I might wonder if you meant Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, or possibly Maori. Not "African", as there's plenty of whites in Africa. "Black African" has too many syllables. And certainly not "African American", as not only is it far too long, but you also risk insulting every negro person in the rest of the world.
