It's a derogatory term used by most people to refer to the area of 'Kogarah' in the same way as the delightful Vietnamese populated suburb of Cabramatta is also commonly referred to as 'Stabramatta' owing to the high instances of knife crime that allegedly took place between warring families of Vietnamese people that live there.
Racist??
Naaah.
The word 'Wog' in Australia is commonly used to describe various ethnic groups in the same way as people from the UK are referred to as 'Soap Dodgers'
Right or wrong, thats just the way it is.

I can't personally see the word '' is any more racist than 'pom' 'convict' or indeed any other general term used on here to describe people.
But if you find it offensive please accept my apologies and rest assured that I won't use it on here.

| McKenzie is a first class blow-hole. He get's owned on every thread and his knowledge of Rugby League is sp. When he talks about "footy" is he talking about the round ball game? He sure knows fook all about the oval one.

Nor are Packi, yid, gook, slope and kaffir etc.
Presumably they're all fine as they're not in the swear filter. Looks like this website is going to become an interesting place from now on.

It's more of a derogatory word than a racist one.
Strangely enough a large proportion of the Lebanese Community in Sydney have adopted the word as a term of endearment towards each other.

| Willard I think you are getting off topic here and I strongly suggest you don't!
This is a footy forum!

Well done.
Might be worth adding the others that Willard typed as well.

Sounds a lot like another racist term used commonly amongst certain groups, but not deigned to be acceptable in common usage.
