Haole

'Haole', in the Hawaiian language, means "foreign" or "foreigner". It is also used in Hawaiian Pidgin as a term meaning "white" or "Caucasian." Haole is a highly charged word and can be used descriptively or derisively.

During the Japanese occupation of Hawaii, the term haole tended to be more negative, as the white population, formerly the ruling class of the islands, found themselves displaced and at the mercy of the Japanese.
