I suspect it has to do with race theory and social Darwinism. I believe "Asiatic" is the older term, and was likely used in a derogatory way long enough that the term itself became offensive thanks to it's being used by offensive people. Or perhaps it has to do with its use during WWII...I think that's how Jap became offensive. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 19:49, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
If I'm not mistaken, you got this term from my word list. I was able to find the original citations that prompted me to add it, and neither of them are with "go". So I think it can stay where it is. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 19:45, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
