Gringo

It means white American or person of British decent. Specifically for Americans because hispanics that live in South and Central America consider themselves americano, but by US standards they are not American. African Americans, Asians are not gringos.

The DEA gringos are invading Mexico.

Gringo

In Colombia, a "gringo" (male) or "gringa" (female) is a person born in the United States of America; an informal substitute for the demonym "Estadounidense". It is used independently of the person's phenotype (a black American is also a gringo/gringa; the cousin who was born in the US is also a gringo/gringa), and it doesn't have per se a bad connotation. In fact many times it's used in a light funny or friendly manner. If used with a diminutive, "gringuito" or "gringuita", it is undoubtedly a friendly use of the word.

Example 1:
-Hey Alejandro! Your guest is asking for a dishwashing machine

-This spoiled gringo! lol I'll go in a sec and explain we don't use those
Example 2:
-The Colombian student texted me: "Hey gringuito, what are you doing tonight?", is she insulting me?
-No dude, if anything, she could be flirting

Example 3:
-Los gringos son en promedio más altos que los Colombianos
(On average, Americans/gringos are taller than Colombians)
-Pues sí lo noté en mi paseo, obvio
(I did notice it on my trip, obviously)
Example 4:
Mi esposo es gringo

(My husband is gringo/American)

Gringo

In Ecuador - Any person of foreign and or non-domestic birth or characteristics regardless of their nationality.

Rest of the word - Slang for an English-speaking U.S. (often Canadian) citizen in a Spanish-speaking country. It is less offensive than words like cr@cker but still implies a slight lack of respect or at least a lightly humorous vent. Not used in any legal sense.

Ecuador - --"Mira la gringa esa" --"No soy nada de gringa, soy de Barcelona" --"¿Y?" Look at that Gringa" --"I'm not a gringa, I am from Barcelona." --"So what?"
Rest of the word - --"¿Eres gringo?" --"¡Sí soy puro gringo! Soy de Carolina del Norte." "Are you a Gringo? "-- "Yup, 100%! I'm from North Cakilacky"
