I thought this was kind of funny. This site lists just about every racial slur out there, explains who it refers to, and explains the origin of the term. One of my all time favorites is "zipper head". Here's what it says regarding it: "Coined by US soldiers during Korean War. Also used in the film Full Metal Jacket. MULTIPLE reasons have been submitted: 1) If Asians were shot in the head with high-powered weapons, their heads would split as if you unzipped them 2) Many times the Asians would be run over by military Jeeps, which left tire tracks on them that resembled zippers. 3) Asians tend to part their hair down the middle, leaving a zipper-like strip. 4) I'm not sure if the military used body bags to transfer dead enemy soldiers, but theres a possibly reference to the zipper on said bag. 5) WWII Japanese pilots wore leather helmets with zippers down the middle" WWW.RACIALSLURS.ORG |
And they are all wrong. The truth is self-evident from the WWII propaganda posters.
