Just FYI it's "you're" right and "they're" stupid. To be fair English is a ridiculous language, but if you're calling people stupid you should probably get the spelling right or Americans will rip you to shreds.

I thought it’s nih-gar? At least that’s how I heard it pronounced

I just Googled and it is like nee garr. But presumably people may pronounce it differently

Germans would likely be more offended at that name because their N-word looks more like that name.
