Just looking if there are any Kurdish students, I feel like I'm the only one. There's no Kurdish club too or anything that could include Kurds ( Like a middle eastern club or something).
(This is just for entertainment, obviously I don't have self hated mindset like some coloured folks. I'm just asking to know if I can use it sometimes as a dark humour thing)
​
I'm basically asking is my ethnicity part of it, and if it is, can I still use it even though my family didn't go through the struggle of the Australian families who moved here earlier & gone through it? Because I want to know, to not offend anyone.

The term is significant in Australia, after few years of me being here, and my journey to localise, I learned about the history and cultural significance of the word "wog". As far as I know, the term is used for Mediterraneans, which I'm not sure if it's considered us as well, because it's strange for me that you call Turks, Levinten Arabs, Greeks, Balkans, Egyptian and only south Italians as Mediterranean, those aren't the only ethnicities of the Mediterranean, like the rest of North Africans, France Spain, North Italians and sometimes Portuguese considered "Wogs" and sometimes not. That leads me to question if my ethnicity, as a Kurd is considered a "wog" or not, even if it was I do not feel that I would have any feelings about "being a wog" I feel sorry for Australians who gone through it, but me as someone who moved here like 4-5 years ago, I do not and will not have any connection to the term even though if some of my ethnicity had gone through it and other people considered me as such. My family background didn't move to Australia when other Australians were racist towards them, so therefore I do not feel I even have the right to use it even as a dark jok. I would also feel weird if someone from (for example) Greece recently move here and would use the term even though he/she wouldn't have the cultural significance behind it. What makes me feel that I can say it is Africans, they made me think, even though Africans didn't go through black American struggle, they still use the N word. So, wouldn’t that make me have the right to say it?
