I’m a white English chap (and a Muslim) so I’m a bule (Bule gila

Just asked my brother in law who says that Mr Polas from Bangladesh who lives here isn’t a bule.
Sorry mate. Looks like you are stuffed for being a bule but I suspect, if you popped over here, you would get the same warm welcome I get.
There may be racism in some ways here but it’s not the same concept as that idiot Adolf Griffin and his white supremasist rubbish.
I really love living here and the people are great.
Uhhhm, is there any other sort of "english chap"? there may be plenty of non white britishers, but english, that's a different bowl of indomie.
I can assure you that non whites can get the honourary title of "bule", and that in the vast majority of cases, being called a bule is not something overly polite - after you've settled in and speak nice BI and a good smattering of whatever the local language may be - then you'll never hear yourself refered t that that manner, if you do, you are doing something wrong, or the guy that said it wants a punch up the bracket.
