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.

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. :)
