Guero/Guera 

Oddly in the Mexican culture, Guero is not generally derogatory as Gringo is. Whitey or White man seems more derogatory than foreigner, but its not. Guero is preferable in the MX culture, while still slang. I have been called this many times by MX friends and acquaintances, and are very clear its not a pejorative.

English-language speakers who are not familiar with the origins of Spanish words (or don't care to become educated about them) can become misinformed into believing that one culture's mumbo-jumbo is widely accepted by other Spanish-language societies. Guera (or Guero, for males) is not a word that is familiar among native-Spanish speakers from countries such as Cuba, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico, Chile, Argentina, etc.

guera by Maria Esther April 13, 2006
A term used for Latinas who have a fairer complexion and lighter hair/eyes than their more darker Latina counterparts. It is not the same as a "gringa." It is important to note that in the spelling there is an umlaut above the letter "u" giving it a "w" sound, pronounced like "weda". Can be either derogatory or complimentary given the circumstances. The masculine form would be guero.

boy #2: Ya, she's just a guera.
