Use of black as a noun in the singular

[edit]

The Wiktionary usage notes for black note:

"Use of the noun black to refer to a person is often considered offensive, especially in the singular, and several guides and dictionaries recommend against its usage. It is more appropriate to use "a Black person" or "Black people" in the place of "a Black" or "the Blacks", respectively."

Consequently, I have added "person" to cases where "black" is used as a noun in the singular, and am of the view that any future use of the word as a singular noun ought to be avoided in this article. --krimin_killr21(talk) 18:02, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
