The term negroid was introduced by nineteenth century anthropologists and represented unscientific and inaccurate ideas about race that have been discredited. It is a potentially offensive term in modern life.

Usage of that term disappeared gradually as a result of the Civil Rights Movement in America in the 1950s and 1960s. African American civil rights leaders ushered in the term Black in the 1960s.

There was no official memo telling authorities and record-keepers to stop using the word negroid on birth certificates on a certain date. It fell out of use earlier in some areas and later in others. The keepers of birth records do not use a single standard. Methods evolve by state to state and even county to county. There is standard rule book that details what terms to use.
