Queuted from Wikipedia:
"In Israeli Hebrew, the term "כושי" was not initially used as an offensive term. On the contrary, in previous years he sometimes even served as a nickname for a dark-skinned or redheaded man (for example, a bad word pomegranate). Other words used the skin color as a derogatory term, such as the term "Probably a bad word" (Yiddish: black)."
