Unkraut in German. Doesn't deserve to be called a Kraut.

So technically all non-Germans are Unkrauts! I‘m incorporating this word.

I know where you are coming from, but as a German calling someone „Unkraut“ has a very dehumanizing sound and was used by nazis to classify people they wanted to murder. Example: https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/6SLYFZ3ZSAWYUJX26V4EXWYGFZBI7ZFH

„However, it would have to become the task of the Inner Mission... to clear God's field of this Unkraut“: women as victims of forced serialisation and "euthanasia" under National Socialism

What happend next is posted daily by https://mastodon.world/@auschwitzmuseum So you might want to skip this.
