There is no equivalent to the dated term 'Negro' in Hebrew, but a modern person of African descent is called כושי (Kooshi) which literally means a citizen of the ancient kingdom of Koosh.
Some Black Israelis have taken offense to the word Kooshi and prefer the term Shakhor (שחור) - which literally means "black", but Kooshi is still quite acceptable in Israeli society whereas "Negro" is not acceptable in American society.
