How to call people of color without sounding pretentious or racist?????

I've been studying english since like 2nd of preschool (i live in Mexico), and i haven't found a way to call people of color something that wont be misinterpreted, because, i morally see calling them "Black people" because it sounds racist, but calling them "Afro-Americans" or "African Descendants" seems pretentious or unnecessarily long to call them like that, and the i resort to calling them "Black people" and then keep repeating the same question on my head.

I would be truly grateful if a native english speaker or someone whos CEFR level is higher than mine (C1) to answer this question C:
