      So calling someone a potato in German is a slur?

        Semi.
        Another kind of slur is calling “spießig” (dunno the english word. Google suggests stuffy or bourgeois) Germans “Almans” which is essentially the french word for german people but if you call a german “Alman” it’s kinda an insult (unless you own it).

        Edit: I just noticed what a grammatical nonsense I wrote. :p

          Similarly, in Spanish, Aleman means German, as such Alemania means Germany.

      I’m not sure this map is accurate. I have never heard any of the terms that this maps claims to be used in the region I come from.
