My initial reaction is, who gives a shit? We’re really gonna make the name we called Nazis 80 years ago a slur?

It’s not really a slur. We called the Brits Limeys and the French frogs. The French called Germans Le Boche. The Brits called the Germans Jerry. The Germans called Americans the Ami. They also had a word for the French, but I can’t remember it.
