blue eyed devil

A term for white people -- usually white men -- originating in Asian countries where white soldiers were stationed during wartime (Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, etc.). The term is not only a slur on racial "intruders" but implies an anxiety about the seductive but dangerous effect of "exotic" blue-eyed men on local women and, more generally, on local culture.

"Kim, you must not consort with that blue eyed devil American. He will only use you for his pleasure and then be gone, bringing dishonor upon us all. If you continue to see him, you are no longer my daughter!"
