But what about it lent itself to being a slur, when linguistically similar words, like "Dutchman" or "Frenchman" are completely neutral?
That's what I'm trying to get it.
(Dutchman, in the original sense of "a German" is archaic, but not exactly offensive, except for descendants of Colonial German immigrants in Pennsylvania, who are called "Pennsylvania Dutch" to this day)
