McCain is still calling the North Vietnamese "gooks"?
"I hate the gooks," McCain said. "I will hate them as long as I live."
The article I linked to says "gook" was first used in 1899 by American soldiers fighting Filipino insurgents. In the Korean War, it was aimed at Koreans and Chinese. Then against the Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. Now it's seen as a slur toward any Asian or Pacific Islander.
McCain was tortured in Vietnam.
Now, 40 years later, he still hates "gooks." Which might bring up the question of what people around the world think of America when we torture others. But, hey, forgive me for bringing up the obvious.
