cooly
"Cooly" (also spelled "coolie") is an offensive term in English referring to an unskilled laborer or porter usually in or from East Asia, South Asia, or the South Pacific. Historically, it was used during the colonial period to refer to workers who were transported from their home country to work in foreign countries at extremely low wages. It is now considered a derogatory term and is not used in formal or respectful contexts.
