Origin: English 'black'

Usage Note

Black (also spelled black) is an informal, generally neutral-to-positive self-identifier used in French, particularly in music and youth culture, borrowed from English. It is less clinical than personne noire but register-sensitive — context and speaker identity matter. Learners should exercise caution and follow the lead of native speakers.
