Ditto: Poles do call each other Pollacks.......I know this for sure... Italians call each other Dago's....I know this for sure.. Irish do call each other Micks or other pet names...... all of the above but not perjoratively.....that will get you a punch in the mouth.. And: In Our Crowd, by Stephen Birmingham, postulates that the term "kike" was coined as a put-down by the assimilated U.S. Jews from Germany to identify eastern European and Russian Jews: "Because many Russian [Jewish] names ended in 'ki', they were called 'kikes'—a German Jewish contribution to the American vernacular. The name then proceeded to be co-opted by non-Jews as it gained prominence in its usage in society, and was later used as a general derogatory slur." And "Gook" is derived from an early kingdom in whats now Korea. Koreans don't use the term for themselves but it was taught to UN servicemen who later applied it to Vietnamese, etc. But we should acknowledge Tenchu's point and.despise blacks for using the N-word.
