>>>Well, when I was a kid, the krauts, i.e. Germans, were called squareheads.<<<

Around these parts, Seattle, my friends call Germans "Lugerheads" and Danes (or Scandinavians in general) "Squareheads"

In the border city where I was born in Canada, as a kid, we had nicknames for every ethnic group, and every ethnic group had its' own hyphenated Canadian social club.

There was a Serbian-Canadian club in 1950, and Serbia hadn't been a Country since WW-I.

The strangest one to me was the 'English-Canadian' club - like they needed to have one? ............ FRegards
