Re: Is "Pieds Noirs" merely a euphemism for their skin color or is there another reason?

Today "Pied Noir" is neither pejorative nor meliorative... although I suspect it was originally a teasing nickname. I think Americans could think of it as the name of an Indian tribe... Anyway, most Français d'Algérie proudly refer to themselves as Pieds Noirs.
