Squarehead is a late 19th century ethnic slur directed at German and Scandinavian immigrants. The phrase is meant quite literally as a disparaging reference to the cranial features, though often just used as a generic ethnic slur against those groups.
Basically the stereotypical shape of a Northern European's head was thought to be square- so it was (and is) an insult to call someone with that ethnic makeup squarehead.
Kid: "Mommy, did you see how weird that Norwegian's head looked?"
Mother: "Yes dear, the fucking Squareheads do have unusually shaped skulls. The Swedish have even more box-like heads... don't even get me started on the Danes or Germans..."

What most square headed people don't even know they are. A square headed person has an angular jawline the same width as their foreheads. The vast majority of society considers squareheadeness as ugly and unattractive, (especially for women)-which really makes no sense at all b/c some of the most beautiful and most lusted after females in the world have SQUARE HEADS. The fact that most people don't realize this baffles me to no end......

And all of these gorgeous women are squareheaded. Don't believe me? Google them.
