Racism?

Is the name "nigroid" an allusion to "negroid"? The similarity is striking, especially when the confection is completely black. Is the name thinly-veiled racism, or is it just a coincidence? Am I racist for even making the connection, for that matter? -kotra 00:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'niger' is latin for black so maybe just a common root? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.133.192 (talk) 01:05, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Could be... doesn't explain the "oid" part though, unless they were copying "Altoids". Even if it wasn't intentionally racist though, it's still an unfortunate name. -kotra 00:32, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Oid" means "little one", as in "meteroid". I bet you'd freak out about "niggardly" too. You people need to wake up and see things as they are, instead of pretending to be victims.

Because if it is an allusion to a racist term, then that should be noted in the article. -kotra (talk) 20:57, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think negroid is a racist term either. 58.96.54.177 (talk) 08:49, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Negroid" is a scientific (taxonomy) term, like "Caucasoid", and Mar5tlin Luther King referred to his people as "negroes".

Sen Sen

Can anyone who has tasted both Nigroids and Sen Sen confirm that they are the same or similar? Shalom S. 15:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They're similar in that they both taste strongly of liquorice. As I recall, SenSen were more "medicinal" (non-liquorice elements, a bit more like a cough drop) while Nigroids are mostly liquorice extract with a hint of menthol. I loved them both. sNkrSnee | t.p. 03:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like "Mighty Imps" are also similar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.106.132 (talk) 23:09, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added comment to this article similar to comment added to Sen Sen article about the similarities between the two products. Jmdeur (talk) 17:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
