Here's what I found on Wikipedia: It was during the Dutch period that the term "Burgher" was first coined to denote people of mixed European, and Asian descent. It comes from the Dutch word Burger, meaning "citizen" or "resident". People of mixed ancestry were not allowed citizenship of the country of their European fathers, nor of their Asian mothers, so a compromise was found whereby they would be citizens ("Burghers") of the towns of their birth.

burghers? not sure I know what you mean.
Burgers like hamburgers, like a type of sandwich that was initially served in Hamburg or the creators alleged told it was from a Hamburg family recipe?
Or Burgher, like someone from Burgh?
