If your name includes an ethnic slur can you officially call him that? Like would I need to call him Dong Gook? Could I just call him Dong or just call him Go...Wikipedia Entry for Gook
(U.S. military slang) an Asian person, especially an enemy (e.g. Koreans or Vietnamese during the Korean and Vietnam wars). By extension, any Asian person. Derived from the Korean words “hanguk” and “miguk”. Guk is from the Chinese, Guo, Kingdom or Country. “Hanguk” refers to Korea[35] and “miguk” is the common word for the United States.[36] American troops thought "miguk" sounded like "me gook" (i.e. "I am a gook"). The word persisted during the Vietnam War, perhaps also because the Vietnamese people have a similar word “quốc”, meaning "country".
I learned of this name because, well I'm a loser and I signed up for Premiership Fantasy at Soccernet on ESPN and he's a player for Middlesborough. Can we please get more ethnic slurs included as peoples last names. For instance Wally Wigga, Guillermo Ginzo, Pablo Gringo, those would work.
