it fits into the wider context of europeans hating on each other by the food they think the other eats.
calling the french “frogs”, the british “beefsteaks” or “gammon”, the germans “krauts”, the italians “cat eaters”, it goes on and on. i dont think it ever reached the level of slurs though.
I thought kraut was like Yankee or Canuck?
I am curious about this too now
I could be mistaken, but I was reared that it originated in one of the world wars and used like other slurs of that originated during those eras.

Even when Brits tried to invent slur for Germans the best they could came with was “Huns” which is low energy as fuck.
ah, but that one is racist at its roots. it’s basically calling germans asiatics, not true white people.
Yeah the worst they could thought of their fellow germanics, but still low energy.
Whatever it once was, those words are more funny than offensive now. I wish there were actual slurs you could use against europeans.
“cumskin” is not too bad
your cum is pink?
😦
That’s fair I suppose, I don’t know that it carries the same power dynamic as a true racialized slur though.
