An Indonesian word that just means "white people". Sometimes it can also mean "foreigner" in general. It can mean either singular or plural (Indonesian word does not differentiate)
It is by no mean derogatory term and most Indonesian who use the word would not mean any offense. People who think it is an insult clearly don't know what they are talking about and just assume it is a slur.
There was even a show on the national TV called Bule Gila (Crazy foreigner).
