"The fuck is a wog"
does internet search
"okay cool English specific term for darker colored foreigner ethnicity people but apparently its a derogatory racial slur so why would someone identify themselves as one?"
Serious question by the way, is that like your cultures version of "we've appropriated a word you used to insult our kind and now pridefully incorporate it as a positive association word into our minority culture, and theres nothing you racist squares can do about it" or am I missing something?
In Australia it's an acceptable term, eg the movie "The Wog Boy". In London it's akin n to the n-word and not appropriate, I think London uses it as an abbreviation of golliwog, those racist dolls.
