"White" (as in a white person). It has a similar meaning as with 'n****r' when applied to darker-skinned people, although usually without the same negative connotations.
Contrary to popular (media) belief the world "Pakeha" means fear skinned. The world Pakeha is a derivative of the maori word Pakehakeha. In maori myth in legend we had the equivalent of the fey/fairy folk whom where either called Patupairehe or Pakehakeha, they were said to be fair of skin with red or light hair. this is what eventually our European settlers were coined with! Pakeha short for Pakehakeha.
