The word was military shorthand for "prostitute" as far back as the late 1800s. It didn't stick to Asians until around the Korean War. You see, in Korean 국 ("gook") roughly means "nation." Likewise, 미국 ("me-gook") is a person from America, and 한국 ("han-gook") is a person from Korea. This is about the time that it became an ethnic slur that carried over to the Vietnam War and beyond.

I am learning everyday!

... Holy shit, I never realized... And I'm fucking Korean.

Japan is my third favorite. Don't know much about the other Asian countries though because I am ignorant.

Asians are stealing our white women

Can we never post another Margaret Cho video on this site ever again?

Seconded.

Cho = automatic ban of 2 months.

What about a Margaret Cho song?
