Back in the 80's "bro" was used more often to refer to African-Americans. Bros and Sisters were black guys and girls.
It is now used more by surfers, frat guys, and people mocking surfers and frat guys.
other terms are
brah
broham
dude-bro
and a load of other silly stuff
There is a different word that is used among African-Americans that will cause offense if used by the wrong person. I suggest that NOBODY use this word.
