qbertDefinitely don't ask for it in Spanish!
MudManWait, what would the problem be with asking for a café solo?
¿Cómo se dice “black” en español?
Not next to the word coffee, is how.
It’s not taboo in Spanish. It’s literally how you say black.

right, but if the dude in the comic gets nervous and has an issue saying black in English
then it would be multiplied if he said it in Spanish
Look, there's half a billion of us and I'm not gonna reject the possibility that wherever you're from people say "café negro" for some reason, but yeah, no, it's "café solo" as fas as I'm concerned. You might as well call café con leche "café beige".
Hey, you know that it was just a joke, right?
My first time in Spain I asked for café negro and was corrected to say con leche. Not in a ‘that’s racist’ kind of way, but in a ‘that is inaccurate, even though we understand’ way.
“Café negro” (which I’ve never heard for black coffee) would be “Café solo” or “Café sin leche” (literally, “coffee by itself”, or “coffee without milk”). “Café con leche” would be coffee with milk, which definitely is not black coffee.
Ok I remembered wrong. It must have been sin leche that they corrected me with. It was a long time ago and I haven’t spoke any Spanish since!

Most? Where?
Like, in the world?
My guy have you met south America
Unfortunately not, but I’m clearly talking about countries. I’m not saying every Spanish speaking country should use “cafe negro”, I was just stating that a good chunk of Spanish speaking people do use “cafe negro”.
I’m just saying, that “most Spanish speaking people are Mexican” is dangerously doing a heavy lifting. Take that as you will
Sure, I’m leaving on the edge.
AnUnusualRelicIn Mexico, I suppose.
Most Spanish speaking people are Mexican.
We’re all on the internet. Why make things up when people (including yourself) can fact check?
Sure I worded this weirdly. As far as nationalities go, there is no other country in the world with more Spanish speaking people, by far. There.

Go to Google Maps and search for the phrase: Cafe Negro Mexico There are several cafes named that and if you search South America there are some there too. Here’s one in Mexico City:
