Gweilo or gwailou (Chinese: 鬼佬; Cantonese Yale: gwáilóu, pronounced [kʷɐ̌i lǒu]) is a common Cantonese slang term for Westerners. In the absence of modifiers, it refers to white people and has a history of racially deprecatory and pejorative use. Cantonese speakers frequently use gwailou to refer to Westerners in general use, in a non-derogatory context, although whether this type of usage is offensive (i.e., an ethnic slur) is disputed by both Cantonese and Westerners.

  • 鬼佬,亦作番鬼佬,是粵語中稱呼白人的俗語,按照字面解釋為「」或者「鬼傢伙」。因爲廣府人觀念中認為,東亞人种通常黃皮膚、黑頭髮,脸平坦,形体中等,而髮色有深有浅,膚色多種多樣和有不同瞳色的歐洲人,脫離了其對通常人類的定義,又因為中國傳說中鬼魂许多膚色蒼白,又如哼哈二将身体高大健壮,鼻高眼大且深,因此稱呼白人為「鬼」。或者是源於19世紀因為外國軍隊入侵大清帝國,普通中国人对欧洲人的到来十分厌烦,而產生了「鬼佬」此字面意思略带有些许贬义的詞語。在外國,鬼佬以Gweilo一詞呈現。 由於上述的原因加上過去的中國歷史,從前鬼佬一詞通常比較貶義。 (zh)
