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

Did you read his post? There's no reason for an Africanish person to play the part. *NM*

Hence, your statement "it's not even a proper use of the term wog" is incorrect. *NM*

Wouldn't the closest modern ethnicity to the ancient egyptians be the Coptics? *NM*

I wasn't calling anyone a wog, I was suggesting a likely parallel to the Ptolemies' attitude

I completely agree that the "black Cleopatra" syndrome is born of insecurities.
