英语词汇honkie的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	honkie
词源	honkie; bohunk. Bohunk, a low expression for a Polish- or Hungarian-American, arose at the turn of the century, and is probably a blend of Bohemian and Hungarian (both Poles and Hungarians were called Bohemians). Bohunks were also called hunkies, and black workers in the Chicago meat-packing plants probably pronounced this as honkie, soon applying it as a deri- sive term not just for their Polish and Hungarian co-workers but for all whites.
