A derivative of “gwailo” (Cantonese translation: “white ghost”), a Chinese pejorative term for Caucasians especially those whom are foreign to an Asian country. A gwailocal is a white ghost who has fully assimilated the culture of an Asian country by 1) being born and raised in an Asian country, or 2) having immigrated to an Asian country in early formative years. As such, a gwailocal is a gwailo who has become local, gwailocal.
