"Coolie" Meaning #1: an offensive name for an unskilled Asian laborer.

Nowhere in the story does it refer to this word, I personally find this offensive, and I’d like to request that a Moderator remove in from the thread title.

coolie labor

coolie labor, term applied to unskilled laborers from Asia, especially from India and China. With the discontinuance of slavery, the use of Chinese and Indian contract labor in British and French colonies increased. Indenture of Indian coolies was usually for a term of five years, in return for wages, certain benefits, and the cost of passage; the terms were enforceable by penal sanctions. At the expiration of their terms, the laborers were free to reindenture or to seek other employment.

Yes, and as you’ve never been to Asia, in the present day, you wouldn’t know and/or grasp that it is currently a racist/derogatory term.

Coolie (variously spelled Cooly, Kuli, Quli, etc.) is:

* A contemporary racial slur for people of Asian descent, including people from India, Central Asia, etc.[1]

Hey Chickenshit - how come you left this out of your reference?

How in hell do you know where I've been moron !Once again your little ploy failed to bear fruit !Are you by any chance Asian or have any Asian blood in those old veins of yours.Are you a resident of or recently migrated from the Orient to OC?If not spare me your indignant lectures on currently racist/derogatory terms .

[LogansPapa]

I am looking forward to your next mistake and your subsequent tears of innocence .

Connotation

When it first entered the English language, "coolie" was a designative term describing a low-status class of workers rather than a pejorative term for them. However, in the wake of centuries of colonialism and the social inequalities thereof, it has taken on not only the characteristics of a slur in the general sense but also that of a racial epithet. In this last sense, it has been applied to Asian people regardless of their professions or socio-economic standing with obviously insulting intent.

You fucked up megi - and I'm calling you on it. If you'd been to China you never would have written this - so just own your stupidity.
