Heh, I read it in translation, and it was titled "Ten Little Negroes." At the time (and now), there was no more negative connotation, than if the title had been "Ten Little Tyroleans."

But, the title "Ten Little Indians" appears to have been used as long ago as the first staging in the US, in 1944.

"And Then There Were None" was used as the title of the first movie adaptation, in 1945.
