Don't sit there pretending "bule" doesn't traditionally mean a white person, and you said it. Twice.

If people call you Bule ist not a problem ,as long they say not Londoh in front of you.

 

[Balifrog]

Been called bule, farang, gwaelo, gaijing, and long nose in Asia...

On the annoying side I have been called "Sale Blanc" (Dirty White) in Africa, or "sale metro" ("dirty metropolitan" in some of our lovely French overseas departments).

And that's only the ones I understood.....

If this kind of stuff gets to you, better stay in your homecountry village.....

Yes
"Foreigner"
"Expat"
I was unaware it suddenly meant "white man"

Since when?

Bule means white foreigner. I dont know since when it changes into foreigner.

Indonesian Dictionary:
Bule : white foreigner
Negro : African foreigner

The other race we just call them by nationality/country, such as Orang India, orang china, orang mexico/latin.

it’s funny how the foreigners in here “knows” Indonesian language better than the native speakers.

I remember the days where calling the Indian, Japanese “bule” was part of the joke.. since they weren’t white. Apologize. But somehow I do realize that my people, without knowing it, are very racist. Not in bad way though…

 

[snpark]

How do you know who is foreigner in here or not or even who is male or female?

Looks like you are foreigner, male.

Well, with a bit of common sense, reading the posts and seeing the board names this is rather easy.
Let me guess, a VAST majority is male and Westerner ?

That is the arrogancy of the white immigrants(aka expats). They know better your language even their own knowledge of Bahasa is not much than "terus", "kiri" instructions to a driver, in most of cases.
