Béké
Béké or beke is a Creole term to describe a descendant of the early European, usually French, settlers in the French Antilles.
==Origin==
The origin of the term is not clear and several explanations have been proposed. It could be a word from the Igbo language where it describes a European. A local tradition holds that it is derived from the question
« eh bé qué ? » (« eh bien quoi ? », similar to "What's up"), an expression picked up from the French settlers. Another explanation is that its origin lies in the term « blanc des quais » ("a White from the quay") as the White colonists and merchants controlled the ports. In contrast, the "Blanc Péyi" is used for White people born in the Antilles and adapted to the creole life who are not descendants of the first White settlers.〔(''Du Neg nwe au Beke Goyave, le langage de la couleur de la peau en Martinique'', Isabelle Michelot )« Il est composé du complément du nom ''-péyi'' (signifiant ''local'') en construction directe sans connotation économique, par opposition au ''Béké'' (où le sème de "riche" est dominant) et au ''petit blanc'' (où le sème "pauvre" est dominant), appellation méprisante du blanc qui n’a pas réussi économiquement »〕
In Guadeloupe one theory speaks also of the "Blanc Créole" or "Blanc Kréyol", abbreviated to BK, ''ergo'' Béké.〔''La Rue Case-Nègres'' de Joseph Zobel〕
