The Goq is right. “Schvartzer” (or “shvartzer”) has, regrettably, taken on a pejoritive meaning among Jews who speak primarily English. If you are an exclusively Yiddish speaker, like ubiquitin, the word can be used without its pejoritive sense. And, by the way, ubiquitin, you may speak in Yiddish, but you write – perhaps non-exclusively, in English.
