Is "mavro" technically a racial slur?

[QuestionMan]

According to Wikipedia
Mavro (Greek: meaning "black") is an indigenous red grape cultivated on the island of Cyprus. The grape takes its name from its dark colour.

According to Urban dictionary
Mavro is of Greek origin, and many Greeks use the word as a derogatory to label inept, black, and/or ugly dark people. Mavro can be pluralized into Mavros.

Well I guess yes than.

Identifying a race isn't discrimination or prejudice. However it's still classed as racism, everything is racist these days. Just call them a homosapien.

[LogicBomber]

Actually... you have to be careful with Homosapien nowadays. The word homo could be taken as offensive.

You're not wrong there, I wouldn't be surprised if they do.
