Kanake
This article is about the German slur and is not to be confused with Kanak, an ethnicity in the Pacific.
Kanake (or Kanacke, Kanaa(c)k; pl. Kanacken or Kanaks/Kanax) is a German ethnic slur for people with roots from Southeast Europe (the Balkans), the Middle East, and North Africa. It is also used to designate working class and rural people, who are referred to as "Ruhrpottkanaken". Many use it as a derogatory word, but also as a self-denomination.
