I was just thinking of the Australian use of wog. I wasn't aware of its origins.

*Incoherent sputters of historian rage* Angelina Jolie Incorrectly Cast In New Cleopatra Role Cannoli - 11/06/2010 02:35:15 AM 984 Views

Did you read his post? There's no reason for an Africanish person to play the part. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/06/2010 06:58:42 AM 230 Views
The only reason for an "Africanish" queen... lyringlas - 11/06/2010 04:09:14 PM 673 Views
why? Cleopatra was not African. *NM* LadyLorraine - 15/06/2010 10:19:11 AM 251 Views
They should get Lyndsey Marshal back, she was awesome. And looked the part. Legolas - 11/06/2010 12:45:48 PM 620 Views
The one from Rome? *NM* Cannoli - 11/06/2010 02:18:48 PM 227 Views
Yes. *NM* Legolas - 11/06/2010 02:36:20 PM 213 Views
Angelina is HOT, Cleopatra was NOT imlad - 16/06/2010 10:42:42 PM 556 Views
I'm having a hard time telling if you agree with me about Marshal or not... *NM* Legolas - 16/06/2010 11:29:02 PM 230 Views
she was too pretty in my opinion imlad - 20/06/2010 03:59:57 AM 536 Views
Purefoy was fantastic in his role. Legolas - 20/06/2010 10:42:56 AM 576 Views
Wait...is the racist part the idiocy of trying to say Cleopatra was black or the "wog" calling part? Tom - 15/06/2010 01:38:42 AM 608 Views
it's not even a proper use of the term wog. LadyLorraine - 15/06/2010 10:16:25 AM 574 Views
No, actually it is. Tom - 15/06/2010 05:06:54 PM 659 Views
mk so, looking at that neither use is "wrong". LadyLorraine - 16/06/2010 08:53:05 AM 558 Views
Hence, your statement "it's not even a proper use of the term wog" is incorrect. *NM* Tom - 16/06/2010 01:34:45 PM 212 Views
yah, i implied that i see that it is right LadyLorraine - 17/06/2010 05:10:37 AM 524 Views
And no one in the rest of the world cares about Australian slang. They're just weird down there. *NM* Tom - 16/06/2010 01:35:11 PM 226 Views
Perhaps you've confused "wog" and "wop". *NM* Tom - 15/06/2010 05:07:22 PM 228 Views
no, see above. LadyLorraine - 16/06/2010 08:54:27 AM 501 Views
Wouldn't the closest modern ethnicity to the ancient egyptians be the Coptics? *NM* imlad - 16/06/2010 10:44:39 PM 214 Views
Well, yes, or the non-Coptic Egyptians. Tom - 17/06/2010 12:57:54 AM 568 Views
I wasn't calling anyone a wog, I was suggesting a likely parallel to the Ptolemies' attitude Cannoli - 17/06/2010 09:58:23 PM 629 Views
I completely agree that the "black Cleopatra" syndrome is born of insecurities. Tom - 18/06/2010 02:11:15 AM 562 Views
Yah...i don't see why people ever think Cleopatra should be black. LadyLorraine - 15/06/2010 10:18:12 AM 550 Views
