      I think the origin was 100% racist. But most people just used the words without thinking about the origin.

      When I was s kid, they had racist names. It was just the name like a bicycle is called a bicycle. You just used the name. The realization came later when I was older and knew that the words can also be used as a slur.

      To be fair though, Germany changed a lot since the 90s. Racism was way worse in the 90s/00s than now.
