Example Word

白人: white person. The Japanese noun '白人 (はくじん)' refers to a 'white person' or someone of Caucasian descent. It is a neutral term used to describe people with light skin, typically of European or North American origin. The word is often used in contexts discussing race, ethnicity, or cultural differences. For example: There are many white people in this city「この街には白人が多い」(このまちにははくじんがおおい). She is a white person from America「彼女はアメリカ出身の白人です」(かのじょはアメリカしゅっしんのはくじんです). Note that while the term is not inherently offensive, it is important to use it respectfully and in appropriate contexts.
