Define Gook Meaning

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.

Gook is to Asian as nigger is to African American.

A racial slur for East and Southeast Asians; essentially the equivalent of the n-word. First used in the Philippine-American War, it was used as a term for enemy combatants before repeated and widespread use in Asian wars (namely the Korean and Vietnam Wars) made it a racial slur. In the USA, it is more commonly - but not exclusively - directed at the Vietnamese. Often erroneously thought to have originated in the Korean War after soldiers misheard "mi-guk" (Korean for America) as "me gook"; use of the word "gook" dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century.
