The Spanish word for black is *****. What is the word for white?
Just want to see if the will let me say ***** in this case. I find it ridiculous that you can't write the word "*****'.

Blame it on political correctness. Under the three defining categories of race, there's Mongolian, Caucasian, and *****. Then came the breakdown of ethnicity. So literally ***** is not the offensive word complained about but the hybrid version is. Exactly who first coined the word is the one who should be chastised. To answer your question if a Spanish word for white exists, not in the form of the race identification. However in the descriptive version describing Donny Dump, I categorize him as a pendejo.

The Spanish word for "white" is "blanco".
And yes, it doesn't allow to write n€gro here, because it is an insult in US English. However, in Spanish sites it is not banned, obviously.

Ok that's what I thought. I wonder how you say the color if you speak Spanish?
