Shiksa is a Yiddish word that has been mixed into English usage, mostly by Jews. While the most basic definition is a pejorative for a gentile woman, it has many complexities behind it. Some would argue that a shiksa refers to a stereotypical, average, blonde girl. It has been observed by many comedians and thinkers that such shiksas are often fetishized by Jewish men, and vice-versa.

Lenny Bruce wrote a short story on the subject of shiksas.
