| Re: Australians cook black people. Lulz?
Yeah, that was my initial feeling...
I had a long conversation with my best friend about it (who has lived there for about ten years now) and she insists that the word is used by people of all races purely as a description. ie, never with malice by white people and not as a reclaimed term by those it describes.
eg
"Jim? Which one is he again?"
"You know, the guy who works at starbacks. Six foot, a bit woggy, always wears that red jumper."
or whatever. plus the mainstream film "Wog Boy" evidently caused no interest in the title there.
Wikipedia disagrees and says it is offensive there but is becoming less so, and describes people of south-east-european descent - eg greeks. I was told it's just used to mean anyone off-white or darker.
Maybe it's partly a question of degree - that is a country after all that still sells golliwog biscuits and coon cheese.
