damn Westerner; hairy foreigner
Strongly derogatory and archaic term for Westerners, literally 'hairy Tang person'. Used in historical contexts; offensive in modern usage.
The term '毛唐人' appears in Edo-period documents.
Compound of 毛 (ke, 'hair') and 唐人 (tōjin, 'Chinese person, foreigner'), reflecting Edo-period Japanese perception of Westerners as hairy foreigners.
