Ebony

Ebony is an internet slang term used to refer to a person of African descent. It originated from the word “ebony,” which is a dark, blackish-brown type of wood. It is often used in online discussions, social media, or online gaming platforms to describe someone’s race or ethnicity in a more informal and abbreviated way.
