The term WOG, as in someone from greece or italy, was firsted used in pow camps and the term first meant Western Oriental Gentleman. After the war, not sure which one, but most probably ww2 when australian service men came back the term WOG was used to describe anyone who was not white australian, and seen as though the newest migrants after ww2 were mainly greek or italian, the term was used to describe them.

Over the years WOG, has become less and less offensive and now most greeks and italians take pride being wogs, and even call themselves wogs.
