In Puerto Rican culture, the word Negra/Negro can denote a term of endearment. If a Puerto Rican uses the word Negra/Negro on you from the moment they first meet you, that means they really really like you and not necessarily in a sexual way. More in a general way, like saying you are an all around cool person. I like hanging with you. Sometimes Negrita/Negrito are also used.
