Is this username allowed?

I'd assume so. In Spanish, "Negro" is the color "Black", so their username is either "The Black Gay" or "The Gay Black" (gayo means merry/gay)

Edit: I could be wrong on the translation, as I'm not a native Spanish speaker, but the point stands.

"negro" kinda just mean "Black" (color) in spanish....

It just means "the black goose" so idk why it would not be allowed

You know that there are multiple langage in the world right ?

It translates to "The black guy". It's a word for "gajo" which is kinda like an unofficial word that society made up for "man"

ahmynuts

There is nothing wrong with this name as others above have also said

Imagine being offended (which is your case I assume) by a color

Not everyone knows it's a color. "Negro" is a way people refer to Black people, usually intended to be derogatory.

Should it have been obvious it wasn't English? Probably. But I don't think they were offended just about a color.

As a native Spanish speaker there is nothing offensive about the name. It literally translates to 'The Black Rooster'. However it could also be word play on his end. What's another word for rooster in English? I'll let you guys figure that out 😅😂

As a spanish speaker i,m not sure of what Gayo means it is probably just a local term that is not used in My country but since it is EL Gayo i'll asume it is spanish but the question is understandable since not all English speakers are taught spanish ok i searched in the RAE and it means happy

i did think it was pretty common knowledge that negro meant black.
i have not met anyone personally that does not know that.

even if "gayo" meant gay and he was saying he was "the black gay"
so what.....

Well one can never be too careful. Here are your 10 Karen bucks for your effort OP.

It's an honest question. It's a special talent to disrespect two groups of people at once, so it's understandable to wonder. Lol.

Lol. People dont have problems now. What a joke

Just as a general point, there are forum rules about calling out specific accounts. You don't seem to be doing it in a terribly derogatory way, but I'd rather you know as to not get banned for an easy thing to miss. Usually when sharing pictures of other accounts, you can do this by editing the photo and just blacking out the name. In this case, you probably could have just included the.... questionable part of the name as text and bypassed the photo altogether.

But yes, not inherently a name that should cause concern.

He could have mispelled or try to write Gallo which means rooster, so The Black Rooster.

What happened? You got crushed by a smaller account in battle grounds and now you’re trying to ruin their account?? Petty!

CeeLohs

It should read “el gallo negro” which translates to “The black rooster” - doesn’t really seem offensive

Not anymore.

Even if "negro" was meant to refer to a black person, in Spain at least we dont have that kind of "n-word", well we do have it, but its kinda different, and Gayo would be just rooster but spelled with Y instead of LL, since in Spain both letter have the same sound when followed by a vocal, and its also a last name here.

Anyway, most of the time, something is offensive if you take it as it, if you dont, it wont be offensive (obviously excluding intended insults)

It is offensive, but there are some languages that use the term as well, so it's not always used in that context. If you're referring to someone who is of African descent, then it's offensive.
Then there's the obvious point that Black people refer to themselves and each other with it. I'm not qualified to speak on that because I'm not Black.

it cannot be offensive for a Spaniard to call a African " un hombre negro"
that is literally the same as an english speaker calling them "a black man"
if that is offensive then i call the person being offended a racist for being offended by someone using another language. LMAO
