The word “Perker” stems from back around the 60s & 70s Denmark.
Around that time, Denmark was in dire need of workforce & manpower to build the country’s infrastructure. The state then invited what they called “Gæstearbejdere” or “Fremmedarbejdere” which translates to “Guest Worker” or “Foreign Worker”, mainly from the countries of Turkey, Pakistan, Yugoslavia & Iran.
In Danish, when referring to an Iranian person, you can refer to them as an “Perser” which translates to “Persian”. (Notice the “Per” in “Pers-er”.)
In Danish, when referring to a Turkish person or a Pakistani person, you can refer to them as a “Tyrker” & “Pakistaner” which translates to “Turk” & “Pakistani”. (Notice the “er” in “Tyrk-er” & “Pakistan-er”.)
Someone then decided to combine the words to generalize people of foreign muslim descent. Hence “Per-ker”.
It is generally considered hate speech, racially motivated & degrading, when a person of white descent says “Perker”. Much like the N-word in the Western Hemisphere is considered racially motivated & hate speech when said towards people of color, “Perker” is also considered that, when uttered towards people of muslim descent.
Racism is generally alive & thriving in Denmark, with it not being as acknowledged as it rightfully should be, & at times actually considered taboo & rolled eyes upon, when pointed out. Many politicians in the Danish Parliament even claiming that racism simply doesn’t exist within it’s borders.

young girls/women at the peak of physical maintenance ease
(from about 15~25) human chronological erosion and/or gravity hasn't set in yet, 'stealing' their easy ability to maintain a pert, perky body.

judy was in her late twenties and spent lots of time exercising, she consequently looked better than those perkers!

A "Plastic Perker" (A danish term) or en english "Plastic Paki".
Is a white person (Usually danish) and usually a guy trying to look and sound like a middle eastern person.
So they probably wear a gucci fanny pack, Skinny jeans or an adidas track suit in grey.
Some of them also wear puffer jackets, but that you can wear thoose without being a "Plastic perker".
Ex. "Eeow wallah bror kommer du ella hvad dig?" or "Yaaaa yallah kom habibi vi skal ud og se nogen ordentlig shababs".
They also tend to use arabic words even tho they dont really know what they mean.
In reality they probably grew up in copenagen with a mom named Betina nd have never TOUCHED middleeastern ground.
They also smoke, It could be Cigs or Vapes, it doesnt really matter.

pitch-in pride perker is a person who "sacrifices" themselves at pitch-in dinners. At a pitch-in dinner someone always brings in something that looks or sounds terrible, they are the ones who take a slice so the person who brought it doesn't know that their food is gross.
Johnny - " What the Hell is that pile of crap over on that platter?"
Alan - " That is my grandma's "Pig intestines stuffed with gopher milk. I am taking a slice just so Granny doesn't start crying. I won't eat it, just remove it from the platter and throw it away.
Johnny- Man you are one "pitch-in pride perker", I wish I could be more like you.
