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.)
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.)

A racial term often used by Hispanics for white people, or people of caucasian descent. In spanish, "Gringo" litterally means "white boy."

It means 'white person'
It does not mean just someone who is from the US because i am a Mexican(Or hispanic if thats what you would prefer to call me) that lives in the US (In a texas city full of mexicans and about 10 white people and 5 black :P) and i speak full spanish and know all the slang. It can be used as an insult or just in everyday conversations. By the way, to all you gringos it is not pronounced 'greeeeen-gow' *I pronounce my english correctly so i would apprecciate it if you did the same for spanish(:

Usually used by Latin American people to describe Americans. When describing an American the word is usually not negative or derogatory. When describing a white appearing person of Hispanic origin, it can be extremely offensive. Calling a Hispanic person gringo(a) is denying their culture, heritage and history. Don't use it this way if you don't want to get hurt.
Me: I'm from Peru, I grew up there actually.
John: Really? I'm from Brazil and would have never guessed because you're so white.
Me: That's a little offensive.
John: Whatever gringo.
*John should have known that he was about to get beat up*
