This word originated from the cartoon character Hadji from the 1964 television cartoon series Jonny Quest. Hadji was a dark-skinned, turban wearing, south-indian sidekick. As Hadji was Jonny Quests companion, so were the Indian workers that provided camp labor support; including cooking, laundry, waste removal, etc.
As new troops began to arrive in Kuwait, they saw the original troops calling dark-skin people Hadji and assumed the term was meant for ALL people in the region.
After the start of the war, Hadji became the new derogatory slur for the enemy by April 2003.
