CJ word for "other whites"

[David Robertson]

Aloha,

Yes, "t'kope" / "t'kopet", though it looks like a name Spock's
mother-in-law might have in the old "Star Trek" series, was used to mean
"white" as in "white people".  I've usually seen the phrase "t'kope man"
in this sense.

But also my Edward Harper Thomas dictionary has "Dutchman:  Any white man
other than an American, a Frenchman or an Englishman."

What was the word Scott used the other day in a CJ letter to me?  --Maybe
"Chamin" for "German"?

And it seems vaguely to me as though I've read CJ references somewhere to
e.g. "Sweden man"...

Best wishes,
Dave
