Best Answer

The name "George" is applied as a derogatory term, usually toward an African American by another African American.

It may derive from the character 'Chicken George' in the ABC television mini-series "Roots" (1977). The character is often identified with subservience, although he eventually earns his freedom from slavery, and comes to the aid of his son's family.

Was Cotton picking or cotton picker used as a racial slur?

It can be, but generally it is accompanied by another slur to make it a racial slur or with a cuss word, for example :fu**ing cotton pickers, or "cotton pickin ni**er"... i am only using those examples so you can get a clear idea of what a racial slur involving the phrase "cotton picker" would be like, not to offend or degrade anyone.
