What, Nigrum and Niger? Duh. Where do you think the slur came from; another word for dark skinned people is Negro, as in Negro-American. Then people just slurred the word a bit and started using it as an insult.

Personally, I like Ater as the Latin word for black, and in fact am using it for a character.
