MIKE (from Michael)
The opposite of a wasp (white anglo saxon protestant) is a wog (western
oriental gentleman)
Why are East Indians from the West coast of India?

RESPONSE: I don't think that is correct although ti seems to fit the
bill. Wog was a derogatory term for black people. it derives from
gollywog. Which was a black doll (depicting a black person) This
gollywog was imprinted on Robertson's jams until not so long ago.
Political correctness caused it's demise.

Not exactly, Gabe! WOG (Westernised Oriental Gentleman) was a sobriquet accorded to Western-educated Indian elites like ICS officers during the Raj.

Cheers, RKN
