Probably because those words were included in whatever wordlists were used to

I just checked, and on my OpenOffice installation, golliwog, gollywog and yid
are not included in the default spellcheck dictionary, but honky is.  So it's
just the opposite to what you have.

You can add any word you like to your custom dictionary.
