Gweilo is Cantonese. It translates as 'Ghost Man' and is used to describe a Caucasian foreigner. Although most of China is familiar with this word only Cantonese speakers use it as a derogative way of describing a white person. It is considered highly offensive in Mandarin China and with some white people.
