gringo

A male Caucasian or white man. It’s NOT offensive or derogatory, as most white people believe even though their first language is usually not Spanish. We can’t exactly call you “el hombre blanco” which translates to “the white man”, so we call a white man a gringo.

A gringa is a female Caucasian or white woman.

I know all of this because, yes the first language I learned was Spanish, and I still speak it. So when a person says “llama la gringas” it translates to “call the white females”.

The word gringo is like the word black in English. Of course when a person says, “Oh, look at those stupid gringos, they’re all stupid” it’s just as offensive the same way a person would say “Oh, look at those stupid blacks, they’re all stupid”. Gringo is also like the Spanish word chino, which means a Chinese male, or an Asian male.

Unlike the many offensive terms for other ethnicities and races that the English language has(nigger, spic, wetback, beaner, chink, cracker), the Spanish isn’t so pinpoint in its offensive terms usually, and if there are, a lot of them are local terms.

Gringo/gringa can also be used to tease a Latino, Hispanic etc. person who is white in color and very fair skinned. My uncle calls me gringa, but it’s not offensive.

No son Africano, son gringo. (They're not African, they're white)

gringo

A guy from the race that invented the language that allows Mexicans to call whites "Gringo".

If it wasn't for white people, Mexicans would be using a crap Nahuatl term for white people rather than "Gringo".

It is an Italian word for foreigner (tyically Engish speaking). Latinos picked up the word after hearing the Italians use it. Latinos refer to both people from the USA and Canada as gringos (gringas for females).

Gringo

Gringo is a Spanish word that pretty much means a white person from America. It comes from the word green and go. So when a Mexican calls you a Gringo, the Mexican is pretty much saying get the fuck out of my country you dirty white piece of shit.

How a mexican uses gringo in a sentence:

Mexican: Gringo, ahora que has golpeado a mi madre, sal de mi casa.(Translation: White piece of shit, now that you've banged my mother, get the fuck out of my house.)
