I think 'wog' started as an insult but when the 'victims' started to use the word and take it over it lost its impact, though I still wouldn't use it. There was a movie made a few years ago about a Greek kid growing up in ?Melbourne? called Wog Boy. A lot of self-depricating humour which of course ozzies (and poms, scots & Irish) really enjoy.
