gringoexplicación 

When a stereotypical American explains something, often incorrectly or in oversimplified terms, to a person of Latin descent in a patronizing tone, implying the person on the receiving end of the explanation is less educated than the person giving it. Although not required, the explanation often occurs in a political conversation and can be invoked by members of either side of the aisle.
“You probably didn’t realize this but your anger is a natural part of the grieving process. Only one more stage to go through according to Kubler-Ross and then you’ll be back to your old self,” the college dropout explained to Alejandro.

“Thanks for the gringoexplicación. I feel much better already,” Alejandro replied.

“Huh? Oh, you're welcome. But I really don’t really speak Spanish except for ‘Mas Cervezas’ on Cinco de Mayo.”
