21. Plural... Like saying white vs. whites.
Sorry but it is NOT a racist slang as used by the person who was attacked by others. Unless saying white, asians, jamaicans is racist or insensitive. You are implying that the word morenos is the same as the plural of the n word which is not as someone incorrectly posted earlier.

Yes, words are often taken based on people's opinion or perception but the use of morenos by the person attacked by a group was not racist but descriptive of a group just like one says white, puertorrican, etc.
