# It's from a Korean word I believe.
I think one of their words (perhaps even the word "American", I forget what it was for) was pronounced like it, but the American troops thought it was how they referred to themselves, and adopted it as a racist term towards east Asians.

I forget exactly what the history of it is, but it's racialist. Innit.

# According to wikipedia (<333333)
it's derived from the word for United States in Korean, which is 'miguk'. The marines thought 'LOL DERE SAYING 'ME GOOK' COS DERE RETARDED LOL' and lo and behold a new racial slur was born. :)

# I was going to post that
Until I read that the etymology is dubious for the word. That and it apparantly was around pre-Korean war.
