2/3 Maybe old news - McCain's racist remark from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
March 2, 2000: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/hongop.shtml
\_ I've heard it before. I was always a little confused though.
Doesn't 'gook' refer to Koreans?
\_ Generally considered a reference to Vietnamese. Might have been
repurposed from Korean Conflict.
\_ I've heard the term referenced against both, but more often
referenced against Vietnamese.
\_ More to the point, it's a word the soldiers used to refer to the
NVA.
\- hanguk -> korea. Dae Han Min Gook!

\_ If ever I would forgive anyone for racism, it's McCain for being
racist against Vietnamese. |
