English is a mixed deriative of German and Latin, while French is entirely Latin-derived, with the occasional Gaulish word thrown in.
No idea where Spanish fits in.
As for the subject at hand, I find that the people who don't just throw ethnic slurs around but actually believe them are low-brow nationalists who don't care to know about either the history or culture of the country they are insulting, let alone their own. Just ignore them, or insult them back if you know any ethnic slurs that will get them riled up.
