White person, American, Englishman, Caucasian, foreign, introduced, of foreign origin.
The word haole existed before the arrival of Captain Cook. It's a very old word that appears in a story about the demigod Kamapua'a. "He haole nui, maka 'alohilohi." Also, the word does not mean without breath. The word ha'ole is a different word entirely.

He mau haole paha na kanaka e heluhelu nei i ka unuhi a'u i kakau ai.
Some foreigners are probably the people who are reading the translation I wrote.

Get the haole mug.A pretty chill handsome dude. Typically Chinese in origin. A creative memer, with 45% hit rate. Copies people's manners and sayings. Best described as a laughterbater; though, funny at times. Does not like drama, but loves gossip. His secrets are many and few. He is loyal, kind, and courageous. Stoic at times, and can give you a death stare. If you look deep in to his eyes, you will see the souls of his crushed enemies.

Get the Haole Chum mug.The word haole when used on the islands has many different meanings, historically accurate or not. It is generally accepted as 'white person' among Caucasians, but most see it as foreigner or outsider. It is a widely accepted exclusionary word based on race, justified or not.

Get the haolepino mug.Refrence from Hawai'i meaning foreigner. This can be anyone who is not local meaning people from the mainland, tourists, or just white people. Mostly used as a term for a white person, but can mean anyone foreign.
Sometimes used as a deragotory term against white people.
Originated from Hawai'i as a term for foreigners due to the fact that they refused to perform the ritual of sharing their mana through their breath, hence "no breath" definition.
Other times it can be used just for refrence to white people.

Casual: Yea, had 2 hawaiians and one thick haole guy coming at me.

Get the haole mug."Haole" just means "foreigner." In modern usage, it's come to mean "white person." But it's a generic term -- neither positive or negative in connotation. The word itself is NOT derogatory:
"There were 5 haoles at the corner" means "There were 5 caucasians at the corner." Nothing more. Nothing derogatory.
But like any other noun, it can attract good adjectives ("The NICE haole lady gave me this apple") or bad adjectives ("The FUCKING haole lady gave me the finger"). It's the adjective, not the word, that denotes whether it's derogatory.
Unfortunately, there are certain oversensitive people in this life who always need to feel like victims and always need to whine about something even when there's nothing to whine about. They want everyone to think they're being persecuted. White people persecuted? C'mon, get real. As my haole golf buddy likes to say, that's why the word "fucking" usually comes before the word "haole."
It's all about context:

The 5 men at the bus stop were haole.
That nice haole boy next door helped me carry these in.
The loud haole who sits next to me at work just can't seem to shut the hell up.
That fucking haole is always whining about being called haole.
