In Germany there's a roach known as the German Roach "Deutsche Schabe" (Blattella germanica) and the Common Roach "Gemeine Schabe" (Blatta orientalis)

So using these names is not racist. Using the name of one of our tribes for all Germans is a bit odd, but so what. We simply ignore such insults.

Belgrade fan what you described as a German cockroach is known as an Oriental Cockroach in the USA (please don't ask me why I know so much about cockroaches *cough*), and the brown and speedy ones I believe are known as German in the US.

I get racist and sexist emails from a friend. It's annoying, but also kind of pitiful. Like "oh, the fact that Jews have a lot of money is supposed to be funny.

Also, the only valid complaint about X2 is that there was no reason why the villain's lair was in a dam. Otherwise, the divergences are okay.

I found this:
In Germany it is sometimes called "Die russische Schabe", The Russian Roach. In Russia it is called the Polish Roach.

I think there's often something political behind the naming of cockroaches!

Interesting. That makes sense estavisti. In English we have German cockroaches, Oriental cockroaches etc. But I'd be willing to bet that in Germany they don't call it the German Cockroach.

You got the chicken and the egg the wrong way round. The word for cockroach comes from the word for a German. See this wiki article.
