The N word (yes, I mean Neger)
Black people in Germany are not called Afrikanischer-Deutscher…in a literal transposition of African-American. A black person from Africa is called an African. A black person whose family has lived in Europe for generations is called ein Person mit Afrikanischer Herkunft…which is to say, a person with African heritage.
Officially.
Germans are generally less sensitive about referring to people (when asked to describe) as die Korpulente (the corpulant lady), der Glatzer (the bald guy) or der orientalische Chorsolist (the oriental chorus member).
Then there’s the officially named “Schokokuss” (chocolate kiss, sort of like a really bloated mallomar), which is still unofficially referred to by many people by its original title, the “Negerkuss”.
That’s nigger-kiss.
Not to be apologist about it, but Germans don’t live in a culture constantly reminded of centuries of slavery, where the term “Neger” connotes vicious beatings, selling up and down rivers, Mammy, lynchings and the like.
It’s almost unfortunate that Jews don’t have a similar epithet that could have been thrown around instead of “Jude” (pronounced yoo-duh) pre-1945…that way Germans could stonewall that term the way we revile the word “Nigger”, rather than appearing sheepish every time they have to discuss the race of Abraham by its medical name.
Only then to vehemently assert that they have many Jewish friends…following an all-too-familiar pattern in polite conversation among non-African-American Americans.
Anyway. It’s not really an issue I have to face very often because, well, because a.) the educated Germans I come in contact with are adamantly pro-multiculturalism (as long as we’re not discussing Turks) and b.) there really aren’t that many black people running around here (at lease not within those same educated German circles mentioned above).
This second point was brought to my attention in living color (not even close to a pun) the other day at the casting I organized for the opera (see my post Oksanas, Svetlanas and Olgas, oh my!). An associate of the opera (a wino, ex-dancer and ancient GDR enthusiast) attended the auditions.
She was a bit (in addition to drunkity drunk drunk) hurt that she hadn’t been let in on finding the auditionees.
How did you find them? She asked. My eyes watered from the combined musk of her unwashed clothes, feet and weinbrand.
I explained: From two different casting agencies, and through the director of Berlin’s Russian Theater.
Her eyes lit up…”Lydia, koenntest du mir ein Negerkind fuer Rosenkavalier aussuchen? Ich denke dass ich einen schon gefunden habe…aber es ist bestimmt gut mindenstens zwei Negerkinder zu haben, weisst du?”
trans: “Lydia, could you find me a Nigger-child for Rosenkavalier? I think I’ve already found one, but it’s certainly good to have at least two Nigger-children, you know?”
And I mean, she was trying to beat the slur, so she basically shouted this. My PC liberal-American brain swung on its hinges with disbelief as I reeled around to make sure other people heard what I was hearing.
They did.
Wow.
January 27th, 2006 at 10:39 am
Lydia, thank you for your social generosity and compassion because only now do I truly feel that there is someone out there (i.e. you) that might understand and sympathize with my plight as a one-quarter Austroasiatic-American. I know it’s not a easy as just saying “moms was a gook” but something has got to be said of decorum.
And Negerkinder.
I love you, Lydia.
January 27th, 2006 at 1:47 pm
Oh I have SUCH love for my Will…
Please say “moms was a gook” to someone and tell me how they react.
I’ll try “well, me and some of my Elders of Zion peeps were impaling christian babies on our horns the other night…”
