Did it ever occur to the creators that "Gook" is a disparaging term for an Asian person.
Google Define: gook http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2005-09%2CGGGL%3Aen&q=define%3A+gook&btnG=Search |
It sucks,Philipp.
A stupid name "Gookbox". As an Asian, i feel angry and damn disappointed.
If you try it ,you will find how it sucks. |
I alerted the creators of the service of your comments. The service is registered to an Indian company, it's possible they didn't know the meaning of the word... |
Different meanings of words. Seems like problems with the globalization :-). |
Maybe John McCain is funding GookBox. What an incredible disregard for ethnicity and social awareness. Might as well just call it Fuc'dBox |
They are "rebranding" (renaming) now as they have been informed of the previously un-recognized slur. |
GookBox is now Poperti check it out. They have a buggy free trial version and claim the paid version is much better |
