Despite what some people think, it is a non-derogatory term used to name USA born people in countries like Mexico and Brazil.
Some people could call a foreign tourist (i.e. a french or a german) also "gringo" but it is only because they can't perceive (or don't care about) the obvious difference: language.
Female form: gringa.

Yes Gringo can be used in a derogative light, but if used properly is not derogative. Gringo means "foreigner", not white person or person from the United States. In reference for the definition please use the American Heritage Dictionary, or the dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy.

gringo comes from the color of the uniforms wore by the u.s. in the Mexican american war. mexican soldiers would chant green-go green-go in the heat of battle it is (green-go) not gringo
