For "korean"

Slur	Represents	Reason & Origins
Bargain Korean	Hawaiians	Hawaiians are sometimes confused for asian, but are not quite right.
Chang-Ke	Chinese	Derogatory Korean word for the Chinese
DAK	Koreans	Dumb Ass Korean. Name given to Koreans by the Whites who visit the country.
Gook	Vietnamese	Term most likely dates back to the Philippine-American War (~1900) and has been used against a wide range of peoples, usually Asians but occasionally Europeans and even the English. Unknown origins, possibly "goo-goo," from the Tagalog language (a major language spoken in the Philippines). Although many have it originating in Korea either by referring Korea's original name, "Hanguk", or during the Korean War when Koreans would ask American GI's "Mi Guk?" ("American?" in Korean) which sounded like they were saying "Me gook." Was soon adopted for use in the Vietnam War. Technically this should only apply to Koreans, but the Vietnam War made it most popular when applied towards the Vietnamese.
Kimchee	Koreans	"Kimchee" is a type of ferminted cabbage in Korea, and it sort of sounds like "Korean"
Moose	Koreans	Used by American GIs to refer to Korean whores because of their facial features.
Yont'an Saram	Blacks	Korean for "coal person"
Zipperhead	Asians	Coined by US soldiers during Korean War. Also used in the film Full Metal Jacket. MULTIPLE reasons have been submitted: 1) If Asians were shot in the head with high-powered weapons, their heads would split as if you unzipped them 2) Vietnam War slang for "Zero Intelligence Potential" (IE: just kill them, no reason to interrorgate them) 3) Many times the Asians would be run over by military Jeeps, which left tire tracks on them that resembled zippers. 4) Asians tend to part their hair down the middle, leaving a zipper-like strip. 5) I'm not sure if the military used body bags to transfer dead enemy soldiers, but theres a possibly reference to the zipper on said bag. 6) WWII Japanese pilots wore leather helmets with zippers down the middle
