Coolie (ku-lee) – n. Offensive.
An unskilled laborer, esp. in British colonial India and China.
Origin: Urdu, "kuli"; Tamil, "kuli"= hireling. Used by British colonial governments to designate semi-slave laborers, such as:
"Those scantily-clad, turbaned wretches are Coolies from the banks of the Ganges." ("Creoles and Coolies - or - Five Years in Mauritius" by Rev. Patrick Beaton, M.A.)
auburnnative, Thanks for the comment
Skeptic. I know what a coolie is, I'm not and idiot. THAT'S THE NAME OF THE STATUE. I didn't name. I guess your not to familiar with landmarks in our area. Ken Fox, the sculpture, named it. Talk with him about how offensive it is.
