“okay cool English specific term for darker colored foreigner ethnicity people but apparently its a derogatory racial slur so why would someone identify themselves as one?”
Serious question by the way, is that like your cultures version of “we’ve appropriated a word you used to insult our kind and now pridefully incorporate it as a positive association word into our minority culture, and theres nothing you racist squares can do about it” or am I missing something?

Reclaiming slurs is cool. Less power to those who would use them against us. One of the reasons I don’t agree with the trend of constantly moving towards whatever the politically correct language of the day is. We’re just handing more insults to the assholes.
In Australia it’s an acceptable term, eg the movie “The Wog Boy”. In London it’s akin n to the n-word and not appropriate, I think London uses it as an abbreviation of golliwog, those racist dolls.
