I wouldn't report it but yes once I read this post I remembered that it was a pejorative term used during the Vietnam War.

I think it is pretty archaic now as unfortunately language has evolved and is always inventing new slurs.

I'm sure OP meant goop and didn't know goop was derogatory or even what it meant.

I never heard of gook used other than regarding something really dirty/sticky/gooey.
But I checked it up and learned something new.

They are pronounced differently. Different words. Context, people!
