Get the Gringo mug.Gringo is a word used through Spanish speaking countries to describe someone who is not of Hispanic/Latin origin from the USA regardless of race. It is not a derogatory term, it is used instead of American because in Latin America we also consider ourselves American since we are all from the same continent.
