The origin of the sense “Korean person” is a matter of debate. A similar use was attested in the 17–18th century book Liaozuo Travelogue (《遼左見聞錄》), where it referred to the "Koreans born of illegitimate affairs between officials and prostitutes", who were discriminated against by the populace. Hence compare Korean 백정 (白丁, baekjeong, “former outcast group in Korea”). The 1751 book The Picture Album of Subordinate Peoples of the Qing Dynasty (《皇清職貢圖》) noted 高麗棒子／高丽棒子 (Gāolí bàngzi, “Goryeo bangzi”) as a colloquial name for Koreans. See the Wikipedia pages Gaoli bangzi and 高麗棒子 (Gāolí bàngzi) for more.

According to the report of Langtan and others, it is very easy to attack and seize Russia, sending 3,000 soldiers is enough.

However, my Shengzu [Emperor Kangxi] still issued an order to the generals, saying that the Chinese soldiers and horses are strong, the weapons are strong, and the Russians are invincible. When they return to their hometown, they should not kill anyone in order to return to their homeland.

Refers (by synecdoche) to the typical pointy nose of Westerners.
Several etymologies have been proposed for tok:
* 噣, 啄: “beak; to peck with a beak” > “beak-like; pointy”. Compare English beak.
* 斲: 《台灣話大詞典》 proposes that the word is related to a story in Zhuangzi (“Ghostless Xu”, c. 370 to 301 B.C.E.):
*:
* 卓: “outstanding; tall”
* 斗: 《台語正字》 (張清波) cites Shiji: 成山斗入海. He claims that 斗 means “to protrude” > “pointy”. However, 斗 is more likely equivalent to 陡 (“steep; precipitous”).

There was once a man from Ying, and on the tip of his nose was some chalk, no thicker than a fly's wing. He asked a stone-mason to slice the chalk off. The stone-mason wielded his axe like the wind and sliced off the chalk following the man's instruction. The chalk was completely removed without injury to the man's nose. The man from Ying just stood there unflinchingly.

There was an old granny who went to America on vacation. When it came time for her to go to the restroom, because she was illiterate, she ended up going into the men's room. Before long, a roundeye walked in, then quickly rushed out as he kept yelling, "I am sorry, I am sorry." Finally, the old lady came out, angrily saying, "Screw him! The roundeye is very rude. He barged into my bathroom, but he still blamed me, saying the door 'wasn't locked!' (a̍h m̄ só--leh, which sounds like "I am sorry")"
