gwai lo 

A Chinese (Cantonese) term that Cantonese people call white people. Gwai lo means "ghost person" in Cantonese. Madarin people don't use gwai lo, since its Cantonese. The term gwai lo (ghost person) is an improper term, but we're just use to calling white people gwai lo.

A mean gwai lo was rude to me today.

gwai lo 

Definition: Nowadays means white person.

Background: Cantonese word meaning "ghost person".

Please allow me to appologize for my people, they are white ignorant arrogant pricks that can't understand anything beyond thier own culture so they have to make fun of everyone else's. There is no honor in my culture so they we fun of everyone else's. We are jealous of the fact that Chinese are smart and nonfat and work hard for a living. Don't let the actions of some white jerks change your mind about all white people.

Gwailocal 

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.

The Cantonese man was taken aback when the gwailocal reaponsed I’m fluent Chinese.

B: Look sideways, its that smelly gwailo! Don't you know that they have a history of not taking baths ?
