Negro, outside its use in titles and other proper nouns, was not in vogue when I was in elementary school 28 years ago. I was well familiar with the term and what it did and didn't connote, but I never heard it once in school--in 1987.
I may be going crazy, but it's almost as if the kid was trying to understand what the word "Negro" means, as it relates to the proper name of a scholarship.

Maybe I should dial it back. I don't remember any subjects coming up that just left my mouth agape when I was nine years old.
Maybe my parents just took more time at home? You have an Asian SN so I'm assuming education was a priority in your home as well. Probably not driving, though.
