Found on the internet:
Indivíduo nascido na Índia Portuguesa ou seu descendente, fruto da miscigenação dos navegadores Portugueses com mulheres Indianas, com nome Português e que, de regra geral, professava a religião católica.

Used in Mozambique. I don't think it can be taken as a slur as it was basically descriptive.

Dear members,
I have for many years been trying to find out the exact meaning of this slur that was used for Goans by the Portuguese 'caneco.' About a decade ago we had an interesting discussion on Goanet about this but nothing conclusive was arrived at. The word itself means mug, but how and why was it used as a slur.
Any imput appreciated.
Thank you,
selma
