in Australian English the term was originally a pejorative for "Mediterranean" migrants, though in recent decades its offensiveness has been defused in certain contexts by common usage in pop-culture produced by the descendants of Mediterranean migrants.

I was pretty o_O at first but it seems like it's a pejorative term that's been successfully reclaimed, so good on those old sheepfuckers.

LOL I never saw that WogInABox one. Yeah, the term's been slightly taken back by greek and italian migrants (the whole "wogs out of work" series of shows/plays etc) but geez calling a pizza shop "wog in a box" is just insane. Still, south australia what you gonna do.

I was just coming to post about that VW commercial that caek posted. It's bad enough on its own merits (or lack of) but the complete lack of black people in it goes beyond conspicuous into "somebody should get fired for this."
