True, black is uliuli in the Samoan language however, it is derogatory to describe a black "person" with the word "meauli" Meauli translates as "black thing."

The correct way to describe a black person is "Tagata Uli." Meauli is objectifying black people which is totally disrespectful...

Black as in the colour black is "uliuli" (Ooh-lee-ohh-lee)

Black used as an adjective (e.g to describe a black person) is "meauli" (meh-ah-ooh-lee)
