Negro term in India
In most parts of India the term Negros is a nuetral term along with Afriki (person from Africa). However terms like kaaloo (black), blacky are used as derogatory terms. In India kaalo/kaaliya is not essentially a racist term but more of a casteist term since dark skin was traditionally associated with people who performed out door manual labour and hence fell in the lower castes. The Siddis are a caste which have been integrated into Indian society

In Russia
In fact, "Čërnyj" is more frequently applied to immigrants from Middle Asia, Caucasus, and Transcaucasia. In this meaning, this word has a strong negative connotation. Colloquially, Negros are still "negry" (pl. of "negr"), a neutral designation. Offensive Russian words for black people are "черномазый" (chernomazyi, black-painted) or "черножопый" (chernozhopyi, black-buttocked).

I do not know whether this info deserves addition to the article body.
