> modern racist overtones

I've wondered the same about Ac 13:1 where

SUMEWN hO KALOUMENOS NIGER

Is there enough evidence to suggest that this was
simply a non pejorative term, much like one might
be called "Red" if he has red hair; or does it go
beyond that into some kind of racial slur?

All the best.
