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?

A certified USian braindead take, from a typical USian thinking their view of the world is the only possible one. As the commenter above has said, words derived from ‘negro’ just mean black people around the world. If you’re so dense as to think any word meaning ‘black’ is racist, then you must stop using ‘black’ altogether, and also euphemisms like ‘dark’ too. And stop using ‘white’ since it’s contrasted with ‘black’.
But who am I kidding? USians do actually think everyone must do exactly that, by eliminating words like ‘blacklist’ and ‘whitelist’. Next, they’ll insist that ‘black metal’ and ‘Black plague’ are racist, and that darkness must stop being associated with death and evil spirits, and that being afraid of darkness is racist.
Well, yes and no. Hitler did love all the racism we were so good at, so he did copy our notes pretty extensively. But yes, no American exceptionalism was exported for this crime against humanity, just imported.
Ofc facists around the world influence each other, but thinking Americans invented it? You ever heard of colonialism? Where the n word was invented? Yeah that’s a European invention not american.
Are you dumb or just uninformed?
At least here in germany the Nazis heavily used it and gassed blacks, no american influence need to make decent people avoid it.
