red hair literally. refers to caucasians.
the original term is 'ang moh gui', meaning a caucasian devil. 'ang moh gui' is used by ppl in 'nanyang' decades ago. most probably referring to colonial masters, who were mostly britons.
now, the 'gui'is dropped and juz means caucasian. no hatred involved.
me: "that ang moh is shuai (chinese word for handsome. To me, it also includes being hot)"
my friend: "well, most ang mohs are.."
ang mohs, are you all happy?
