the spanish used it correctly
The Spanish used it correctly to distinguish themselves from other white
people.It does not mean Blonde person. The spanish used it to refer to White
people with simliar complexion
like those of southern europeans to distinguish themselves from them.Since they don't run with the spanish or have origin of spain, but are similar complexion they used the word gringo to notify other spanish decend that this person
may look spanish or they may speak spanish well but that they are from another language or country, derived form the
work greek,
like they speak some greek language or something strange or wierd or
hard to speak, the spanish used the word gringo in meaning that this person is speaking in greek, something
hard to understand, or
weird,like when the
american use the word greek to describe something they don't understand. Now in this century, the word gringo hasn't been used correctly, Morenos
people call anyone gringo that not of dark skin, or a mexican that doesn't speak spanish and there are alot of wrong assuption of the word gringo out there. Gringo was primarily used by the spanish to distinguish themselves and classifying someone else that looks white but comes from a different country of origin. If A spanish or mexican back in the days where to see a blonde person, then they would just call them guerro(blonde person)or if they see a black person, then they would call him Negro etc, but if they see a white person that looks of spanish decent then they would call him gringo, this word was used to distinguish themselves from from spanish.They are not going to call him Blanco since the word blanco referes to someone of white spanish decent in the spanish system, just
like latino whites are not called white in america, you seen it White(non Hispanic),
like has a spanish surname and who's country of origin is of the hispanic coountries, this was a blanco, but a gringo is someone who surname and country of origin was not of spanish decent but they look spanish( see example)therefore the spanish would just say, " he's talking greek" meaning some
weird language, which they used the word " el gringo"
There are alot of gringo in the united states of
American
Gringo are
like:
Cindy Crawford, Orlando Bloom, kate Winslet, Bruce dinkinson( Iron MAiden),Al Bundy, Johnny deep,Al Pacino, Robert Dinero, etc
Blondes are: Susanna summers, John Denver, Jeff Foxworthy, Paris Hilton etc
