I came to Cleveland in 1957 for the 1st time and the word used for blacks was “moyeto” we no longer use the word because it is just as bad as using the “N” word. The word ” moreno” is now used to identify a black person. By the way we return to P.R. in late 1957 and returned in 1961. By then the word “moyeto” was used very little!!

In reply to Robert Moore. Moreno is probably the most widely used word for “black people”.

In reply to Alejandra. Funny !!! Exactly what I was going to comment. You are absolutely correct and also I might add a corillo is a group of people that do not necessarily have to know one another.

Corillo is used mainly to refer to a group of people or crowd, particularly a small crowd, unknown or unidentified people. Corillo does not necessarily refer to acquaintances or friends. E.g. There was a “corillo” (group of people, crowd) at the entrance of the building. Había un “corillo” en la entrada del edificio.
