No, and your handle made me laugh as a fellow ‘93 Aussie Wog.

  If you don't mind my asking, could you explain what a "wog" is?

    It's a racial epithet used mostly in Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wog

    It’s a slur.

      And similar to the n word - some Greeks and Italians have taken the word and used it themselves with pride. I’m conflicted about this but happy for my friends who can do it. I certainly don’t think anyone else should use the term.

        This isn't really accurate, but I can see how you'd come to this conclusion. Wog definitely started as a slur, but is really just an umbrella term for people of olive skin in Australia these days. It's not polite venacular, but it's inoffensive and common enough to have a movie with the name a few years ago ("Wog Boy"). I can't imagine the term you've equivolised being plastered on posters in theatres everywhere.
