If so, avoid it. Idc about german case, there is some other languages that likely use it as a slur, but the main source of it is america. You see, in Estonia, ‘neeger’ used to mean any black guy, without being racial slur. But recently it was considered slur, because teenagers influenced by american culture started using it as a slur, eventually leading to its ban. And I dont mind , it just now i have to unnaturally replace it with two much longer words. And I see this as a useless adoption, the less words have offensive meaning, the better.

“We previously had a casual, low-key racism that no one minded! Everyone was perfectly fine with that arrangement. Until the youths stumbled into a way to get attention by making it more racist! I didn’t want it to be more racist, it was the right amount of racist before! And as I said, everyone was fine with it! Anyway regardless I’ll still call them neegers. Those Americans with their influence can’t take that from me.” Just an unbelievably trash hill to stake your vomit-tier flag on, but sure, go off. Here’s a question, why are all the “I’m Estonian!” announcers I ever stumble into, always just simultaneously, proactively finding the worst possible takes to give, upon their own introduction/announcement? The fuck is up with that “type” of y’all?
