- Emboldened by H760 questions re: GOOKCITY I, too must express some confusion
- over the use of the term Gook. My only knowledge of the definition of that
- term is that it is/was a derogatory term used by USAers to describe the
- Vietnamese during that blighted time in our not so distant past. So the
- question adds a new dimension, i.e. how do Vietnamese fit into the story? Or
- is Gook being generalized to mean any person or group of persons to be
- derogated?
