    So calling someone a potato in German is a slur?

      Semi.
      Another kind of slur is calling “spießig” (dunno the english word. Google suggests stuffy or bourgeois) Germans “Almans” which is essentially the french word for german people but if you call a german “Alman” it’s kinda an insult (unless you own it).

      Edit: I just noticed what a grammatical nonsense I wrote. :p
