I highly doubt "wog" has the same history as "nigger"
in either case, antiquated lingo that has no meaning without context. People are quick to jump the gun and puff their chests at the word alone.

shauk,
Wog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
no body said the word wog had the same history as nigger. but but are slurs against races in my opinion, and shouldnt free thrown around like you were giving away free popcorn.
because of personal cirumstance, and the fact that i myself or family members been subjected to racial slurs from such a word, i find it offensive if someone called me a wog. i'd be more obliged to accept it if my brother called me a 'bloody wog' because i know it held no malice...and sometimes he does. but if someone else did it, i'd find it unacceptable.
