From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bule (or Bulé) pronounced [Blay] (or [Boo-lay]) is a commonly used word in Indonesia to describe a white person or person of European descent. It is also used to describe light-colored persons. Many dictionaries point out that the strict definition of the word is albino. The term can be interpreted as derogatory, although most native Indonesians do not consider it to be.
