hekma


pr-nounced hekh-mah or sometimes khekh-mah.

a derogatory term used by people from the subcontinent (primarily india and pakistan, but usage has also spread to some middle eastern peoples) to referred to white-skinned (caucasian) peoples.

this is considered an insulting or dismissive term, on par with the use of honky or cracker by african americans. often used when describing a caucasian in a position of power or authority, particularly over those that are indo-pakistani or brown-skinned. also used to demonstrate ignorance or misunderstanding of indo-pakistani culture.

undetermined origins, but evidence points to genesis among pakistani-americans in the midwest united states.
