Those are hardly relative comparisons. How about is it racist or disrepectful to call an Asian a gook? That would be a more apt comparison.

Forget for a moment my Yanks and Canucks comparison.

Sweden = Swede
Australia = Aussie
Pakistan = Paki
It is a logical ‘shorthand’.
If you consider the one to be “racist”, then you must consider the others to be so too.

In line with my original posit: Gooks would be from “Gooklandia” or Gookistan or something like that.
