Hatebase

Chinese Pejorative term used in south of Mainland China and Hong Kong to denote a white man. Loosely translated as 'foreign devil;' more literally, might be 'ghost dude/bloke/guy/etc.' Gwei means 'ghost.' The color white is associated with ghosts in China. A lo is a regular guy (i.e. a fellow, a chap, or a bloke). Once a mark of xenophobia, the word is now in general, informal use but still considered derogatory.
