 * Thanks for catching that.
 * Sense added by anon geolocating to Indonesia, in .  The anon was blocked from editing the [[geser]] page by  back in May 2022, due to disruptive edits.
 * I tried a quick googling of the phrase, more likely to find derogatory instances, but I'm coming up blank. There are suggestive hits like , but the images associated with these hits consistently show non-Black people, leading me to think that the anon's added sense is bogus.
 * , you're both JA editors with (I think) more expertise with slang than I have. What are you two finding?  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 22:40, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 黒子のバスケ Kuroko's Basketball is a manga/anime btw. —Fish bowl (talk) 00:15, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm not aware of that sense. Cnilep (talk) 03:45, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I tried but found nothing that suggests the specified sense and the surface form. The closest thing I found in Japanese sources is 黒黒子 ヘイヘイヅ (hei-hei-tzu) that is a name for Sart. (It could be derogatory, but I'm not sure.) However, the pronunciation doesn't match and the word sounds more like Chinese than anything. On a related note, in 黑子 we have an entry for derogatory sense. As for the search phrase, "黒子ども" would be better at finding derogatory instances, but it lead to nothing.

 * I've noticed a marked increase in the past few months in edits from users in the Sinosphere, adding senses to Japanese entries that I can only confirm for Chinese, not Japanese. I wonder if this is part of that trend.  The IP who  the relevant sense here geolocates to Indonesia, FWIW. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 16:55, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
