Gook (???) (1912) -- Goo-goo

[sagehen]

>Thanks, Doug. So, "gook" rather coincides with "wog." In my youth,
>Aussie friends applied the latter term to anyone who wasn't
>sufficiently fair-skinned as to merit inclusion into the WASPocracy,
>yet not so dark-skinned as to be considered a nigger. Hence, "wog"
>was applied to Southern Europeans of all nationalities, Asians,
>Indian Indians, etc., unless such a person's speech revealed him to
>be an American. In that case, all bets were off.

Wasn't the slogan of this point of view "The wogs begin at Dover"?
