I first heard gweilo when I was touring a factory in DongGuan. Me and another american (hosting) guy got separated from the group and he asked the elevator operator where the other gweilos were. She understood that and pointed. After many trips to HK, I have found it is in common usage and to me it basically means white boy. Nothing insulting by it. Up near Shanghai, the use lo wei instead. I was trying to cross a road and some guys were blocking the way unloading a truck. The guy that could see me told the other that there was a lo wei behind him - again nothing insulting and they let me get around them.
