R.I.P. my sauerkraut fan club
Let me be the first to bring Jung into this, "What you resist, persists", in trying to avoid the usage of slurs, you had to go and commit them to a public branch of source code to be saved in the arctic vault for eternity.
- whstl 3y agoFunny enough I went to a Krautrock mini-festival a few weeks ago, here in Germany. Nobody I know cares about the term "kraut". At this point it is just outdated WW2 lingo that never caught on here. I feel like "Kartoffel" is often used in a more offensive way. Although I've never really seen someone getting really offended.
- frantathefranta 3y agoI think that is one group of people where English-based slurs haven't stuck. But on the other hand the languages around Germany have still plenty of slurs for Germans, which funnily won't be caught by the bluesky filter.
- GloomyBoots 3y agoFunny, I’ve heard potet in Norway as well. Is this a common slur in Germanic countries?
- whstl 3y agoIt's supposedly used by neighbor countries and foreigners to refer to Germans. But it's common to see people of other areas using potato-related slurs against Irish and Russians too.
