[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up in California in the 70s/80s, FOB was solely used to refer to Vietnamese immigrants (aka boat people), and it was very derogatory. I would never use FOB, ever. My dad was an immigrant, who came to the US on a ship from the UK in the 1950s. I would never use it to refer to him, because of the negative context it's used with others. But then I've also never, ever heard it used in relation to our many family members who also immigrated from the UK and Ireland. [/quote] +1. I would never use it to describe anyone. It’s comparable to “wetback.”[/quote] :roll: No, it’s not. You are really dumb.[/quote]
