A derragatory term used against Korean and [Vietnamese] individuals. The term came about when American troops participating in the Korean war, heard the term "Miguk" which is the Korean word for the [United States of America]. The term is pronounced similarly to "Me Gook". The Americans thought the Koreans were calling themselves gooks and the name stuck. The name also refers to [Vietnamese] individuals as American GI's really had no idea what the difference between any Asians were.
