The Swahili word, ‘mzungu’ or ‘muzungu’ (sounds like “muh-zun-gooo”) is generally taken to mean ‘[white man]’, although it does apply to women as well. It can also mean some sort of ‘boss’, whether you are male or female, black, brown or white! [Originally] stems from the phrase, “those who wonder aimlessly”, and linked to African experiences of early explorers, traders and [missionaries]. In itself mzungu is not a derogatory or negative term. Although it can appear aggressive or negative if accompanied with requests for money.
