> The word is a compound of Schwartzen and Egger and is not about race.
Ah. I remember hanging out with some German kids, and that was their word for Black folks. I found it off-putting, but they insisted that it was common usage.
I dunno ...
Yes Schwartze is a noun that is used (slang?) for a black person; but in this compound word schwartzen is not about race, but the word for the color black, modifying Egger which is not Negger. I had the same curiosity about his name. ; )
