Liberian slang meaning foreigner if directed to a non-white person, and white if directed to a white person. If a Liberian calls another Liberian a "kwi" however, they are indicating that the Liberian acts white/white-washed.
"Yo you see that dirty foreigner he's a kwi"
"My pekin, you can't call no one a kwi man, you act kwi yourself"
"I don't act white, stop playing with me yo"
"My pekin, you can't call no one a kwi man, you act kwi yourself"
