Here is some interesting info:

"The word originated from doogala (āĪĶāĨāĪ—āĪēāĪū), which is a Bhojpuri and Hindi word that has many meanings such as many, a mix, or much. It literally means "two necks" in Bhojpuri and is highly insulting in the Bihar and Purvanchal regions of North India. Some of the connotations of the word such as bastard, illegitimate and son of a whore are secondary and limited to sections of North India where the term may have originated.[1] The term itself has a puzzling connotation, for it has very limited use within the subcontinent for the purpose that it gained in the West Indies. In other words, there is no recorded use of the word other than that which the definition describes, and yet, there is little or no record of such a defined use anywhere on the continent. Originally, the use of the word in the West Indies was only used for Afro-Indo racial hybrids, despite its origin as a word used to describe inter-caste mixing. In Bihar and Uttar Pradesh it is considered highly offensive, as it denotes that one is of mixed caste or a half-breed."

All dem Indo gyals huggin up black man in Unity. There is hope for Guyana. Y'all keep an eye on Cobra and Yuji. Dem bhais might try and swing on a rope.

My family tree has been pure and uncontaminated for centuries and will remain that way.

People are free to do and choose whatever they want to do, none of my business.

Let them celebrate. Happy 50th.
