Definitely don't ask for it in Spanish!

Look, there’s half a billion of us and I’m not gonna reject the possibility that wherever you’re from people say “café negro” for some reason, but yeah, no,
Go to Google Maps and search for the phrase: Cafe Negro Mexico
There are several cafes named that and if you search South America there are some there too.
Here's one in Mexico City: -

It's a slur for white blonde women in the U.S.

“Black” just works as a better term. It’s hilarious when people refer to black folks from other countries as “African American.”
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone offended by being called “black.”

I don't think bolt-ons come naturally much often

That's just how it is in many European countries, particularly more towards the south. Food is sacred and traditional and you can explore whatever crazy stuff you want as long as you do it over there in private and don't fuck with the classics. In north America this sentiment is much less present though I've seen it a bit with poutine for example where they'll argue about how thick the fries should be and what kind of gravy and etc.

If white is not offensive, why would black be offensive? It makes no sense.

If you want to set off a poutine purist you gotta change the cheese. Trad poutine is exclusively made with cheese curds. Lots of places that sell "poutine", however, use shredded cheese of some kind or other. Some people go nuts over it, lol.
I can definitely understand the heritage part. You can't just throw a bunch of stuff in a bowl and claim it's a dish that it is not. Coffee is way more broad and varied than something like cacio e pepe though. I still think it's pretty stuck-up to scorn someone over how they like to drink it. Coffee has been served many different ways in many different places all over the globe. We don't have to shun one another over it.

Sure, I'm leaving on the edge.

Sure I worded this weirdly. As far as nationalities go, there is no other country in the world with more Spanish speaking people, by far. There.

Not sure about mainland Europe, but in the UK at least, lots of places offer filter coffee and/or V60 in addition to the standard espresso

"Black" being considered offensive was a thing in the late 90's, but it didn't last.

In French gros/mon gros can be a familiar term of endearment, but it mostly doesn't matter how fat the guy really is.

Yeah I remember an anecdote about two Americans on a beach referring to a black British man as something like "African American British" but it was even so long ago that I've forgot what they said exactly.

Yeah, me too. And a vast amount of misogynistic stuff. The latter, I suspect, was just bog-standard puberty and oral lore, most of which was crude. But I still remember many limericks.
