Eric, slight correction. "Gook" actually means "country," not "person." Korea - Han-gook America - Me-gook "Me-gook" has its roots in Chinese and literally means "big, beautiful country." For America to be named this way and not some Romanized phonetic name like "Ah-Meh-Rick-Ah" should be taken as a compliment, but unfortunately it has also led to the racial slur.
