I don’t know about ‘kike’. A similar term in England is ‘ikey,’ which may originate from a character in the 19th century comic ‘Alley Sloper’ Alley’s sidekick was a Jewish bloke names Isaac Moses, known as ‘Ikey Moe’, could be the name outlived the character. Another odd one is ‘Guinea’ for Italian. I mean, why? A guinea is an obsolete British coin and Guinea is the West coast of Africa
