Moke (slang) : ウィキペディア英語版
Moke (slang)

Moke is a term used in the British Isles as slang for "donkey".〔http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/moke〕 In Australia it refers to a nag or inferior horse,〔 and is employed by residents of the Hawaiian Islands in similar fashion as the British to derogatorily describe segments of the local Polynesian population. In practice, the word "moke" is similar to "redneck", as it is only used to describe a certain personality type, instead of an entire ethnic group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Eye of Hawaii - Pidgin, The Unofficial Language of Hawaii )
==In literature==
John William's ''A Narrative of Missionary Enterprises in the South Sea Islands'' (1832) is one of the earliest records of Mokes in literature. Williams, a missionary with the London Missionary Society, equates mokes with "Heathen Darkness", a claim that portends the later antagonism between whites and Hawaiians over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries.〔Williams, John. ''A Narrative of Missionary Enterprises in the South Sea Islands; with Remarks upon the Natural History of the Islands, Origin, Languages, Traditions, and Usages of the Inhabitants''. New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1837. p. 2〕
Later portrayals include W. S. Merwin's ''The Folding Cliffs'',〔Merwin, W. S. ''The Folding Cliffs''. New York: Alfred A. Knopf Press, 2001.〕 and Paul Theroux's ''Hotel Honolulu''.〔Theroux, Paul. ''Hotel Honolulu''. Boston: Mariner Books, 2001.〕
Also of note is the reference in Captain Joshua Slocum's ''Voyage of the Liberdade'',〔Slocum, Captain Joshua. ''Voyage of the Liberdade''. New York: Dover Publications, 1998.〕 where the term refers to a native of the Bahamas.
