blauwe

For the sense as an ethnic slur, unknown. Several theories have been proposed, the merits of which are unclear, all of which refer to some feature of Indonesian people appearing blue to the eye. In one theory, it is a supposed blue colour of their gums, while another refers to a blue sheen reportedly seen on the pitch-black hair of some Indonesians. Finally, yet another theory relates this to the so-called slate-grey nevus prevalent among new-born Austronesians. In earlier uses the term was more broadly used for people of colour, so its derivation may not be related to Indonesians at all. Cf. also blauwe hap.
