LOL @ People Calling Koreans "Gooks"

[Kakdiesel]

I've posted this up in the past on chat board once, but since it appears that we have a new generation of members let me enlighten you.

When you call a korean or asian a "gook" you really are making yourself look stupid. The term "Gook" came from the Korean War (not vietnam) in 1950.

How? Well South Korea was a very impoverished nation. No highways, or what you would call "streets". Just paths and dirt roads from village to village. no real cities (sans Seoul). Very poor. And during the Korean War (North Korea vs South Korea), it was even worse.

So when the United States decided to help the cause, troops were sent over to South Korea. During their tour of duty, they would walk from village to village on missions and as they would travel, the very young korean kids (who had never seen white people before) would marvel at the soldiers.

The soldiers, being very kind hearted with the children would play with them and also give them treats (candies/snacks/etc) that they just had lying around. Because they were so poor, to the children, they thought it was the greatest thing to happen to them in their life. They loved it when the soldiers would march through town.

Anyways, after this had been going on, the children fell in love with the American soldiers and the soldiers were so nice to the kids.

The Korean word for AMERICAN is "Me-gook" So everytime the kids would see them, they would shout, "ME GOOK! ME GOOK" The soldiers thought they were saying me (as in I am) GOOK. So they called them gooks.

SO when you call any asian person a gook, you are really calling them american in a sense.

Class dismissed.

[jackangel]

regardless of the etymology, it is what it is now. whether it's 'gook' or 'fucklepants' doesn't really matter. the important thing is that they're here for us to use. you fucking gook.

[jdynasty]

actually it's a little older than that lemonhead

Term most likely dates back to the Philippine-American War (~1900) and has been used against a wide range of peoples, usually Asians but occasionally Europeans and even the English. Unknown origins, possibly "goo-goo," from the Tagalog language (a major language spoken in the Philippines). Although many have it originating in Korea either by referring Korea's original name, "Hanguk", or during the Korean War when Koreans would ask American GI's "Mi Guk?" ("American?" in Korean) which sounded like they were saying "Me gook." Was soon adopted for use in the Vietnam War.

I was going with Lestat. Flips are nothing but bitching wannabe Asians. Sure, they have the eyes (sort of); but they have the build of a small black man and not a iron stick.

There's only one thing worse then flips...you guessed it...white chicks. Thank god we don't have any around this place.

yes. Early 20th century Japan was the most evil empire. Invaded and occupied south korea for many years, while trying to turn it into a japanese province. Raped the korean women, changed the national language into Japanese for a few years. anybody caught speaking korean was killed on the spot.

Japan was like the New York Yankees on crack.

Really , this link says that me-gook is Chinese not Korean...

A derogatory term usually used to refer to a Korean person. Originated during the Korean war, most likely due to the Chinese involvement during the war. The Chinese word for America is roughly pronounced "me-gook". So when the Chinese were asking the US forces if they were "from America?" They were saying "me-gook"? The US soldiers translated it as ME GOOK, and started calling the Chinese and Koreans "gooks"What do you call 2 Korean guys in a camaro? The gooks of hazard.

LMFAO!!!

i was actually trying to be nice since the guy lives in atlanta and i lived there for a few years. but obviously you dont understand the meaning of trying to do something for someone else.

if you think I was being insincere, I'm sorry. I wasnt.

And I dont have to prove my self worth, I love my life very much right now. Happiness is a great thing, you should look into it bro

 

[KillahBee]

I found happiness about 2-3 years ago. Got comfortable with myself. Figured it all out. Settled into myself.

It's an unbelievable feeling. Like finally understanding it all.

well there you go. However I find it ironic you try to say that I'm trying to prove my self worth by trying to be nice to another EF member instead of dumb bickering online. Shouldnt that be something a MOD would do as well?

just a thought.

Ask Ceas how nice I was to him the other day here...

I don't have to do it on the open forums, not my style. and not for nuthin, homey, but 97% of the members here get me and my humor and how I interact with them and believe it or not, most appreciate it. not everybody is the same. you can't please everybody all the time.

http://www.languagehat.com/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=355

Well I will admit that Koreans are derived from the Chinese. Everybody eastern asian are from the Mongols/Chinese. Albeit a few thousand years ago.

I'll agree in that maybe it is derived from the chinese language, but thats like making the comparison that saying an english word coming from a greek origin.

so in essence, we might be both right and both wrong

Well in essnce, by stating that "97% of the members" get you and your "humor" and that they "appreciate it" is kind of like trying to prove your self worth as well?

lol. that is not how I judge my self worth. I was simply responding to your several complaints/remarks about how mean I am or how much of an asshole I am to everybody here, etc. You don't speak for everybody. You don't get me, that's cool. That don't mean EVERYBODY here doesn't get me.

I never made such an assumption. However I am enlightened and glad you are doing well--honestly.

but don't act coy by remarking about how I was "trying to prove self worth" merely by suggesting something cool to do in Atlanta. as stated before I lived there for a while and got to know some people.

I think that if you were in atlanta, I would say, hey KB check out Tongue and Groove. Thursday nights. I know kenny flynn, he's from NYC and powerful to know. Meaning saving time and money by gettin in VIP and for free.

Just because some of us arent friends, doesnt mean I wont try to help someone out in a town I'm very familiar with.

two new developments:

Option 1 (the more realistic one) has a BF! Fuck! However, I have a good track record with girls who are taken, especially when their man is hundreds of miles away.

Option 2 (the impossible one) gives me stares of death every time I walk by and is about as receptive to my wit and off-color humor as an oak tree.

SO, I am throwing a company happy hour tomorrow night and have done nothing for 2 days but sell it to every person here. Option 1 is real excited about it and somehow, someway Option 2 is confirmed to attend (I went to the only female here that knows her and convinced her to convince Option 2 to come because I want to introduce her to everybody, blah blah blah).

So things are looking decent.

Interesting post and replies.

All I know about this is what I lived through.

When I took my tour of the friendly land of Vietnam in the 1960's, I became aquainted with the slang racist term "gook". It was directed at the enemy who were shooting at us and who we needed to dehumanize so we could do what was required.

As in ... "Sir, the fucking gooks are dug in behind that tree line." I would then have the pleasure of calling in an air strike and toasting the f*ckers.

We had the honor and privilege to have members of the Republic of Korea at our side and we never called them anything but "ROKS". They were truly tough and dedicated.

I was also assisted by members of the Navy of Taiwan, another group of extremely tough and disciplined Asian men. We never called them anything but their names and rank.

i also want to add that I understand what you were saying as in "dehumanizing" the enemy--its required for victory.

I just meant (with the original post) when people are out in the street today talking like that.

Not directed towards your situation whatsoever--thats entirely different. but would you agree that it DID in fact originate in the Korean War (1950) and just carried over to the vietnam war?

hey, tell me, is there any fisical difference between, lets say, japanese, korean and chinese? Cause honestly they all look the same to me.

For example, I can tell by the face bone-structure if someone is from the Balkan. I can alse tell if someone is albanian only lookingh at the face.
