Zenci Info

"Zenci" is a Turkish term derived from the Arabic zanj , which literally translates to "black" or "person from the Zanj region" (historically referring to East Africa, such as Zanzibar or Sudan). Because its history is deeply tied to the Ottoman-era slave trade, its modern usage is highly controversial and often considered offensive. Cultural and Linguistic Context
