What would you prefer? “Blacks” is the way I’ve seen it used in medical and psychological journal articles.
Seriously? That seems a little cavalier of them.The medical and psychological influence of race isn’t all that much to do with the skin color and a lot more to do with genetic population. That makes the term ambiguous to the point of uselessness. Unless “blacks” is assumed to mean, say, just those of African ancestry. In which case they could be writing “African”.
