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 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.
¡Ese gringo si que está buenisimo!
the new official n-word for white people.
it is actually the word latins call non-latins, also called white people.
guy 1: aarhh vamos gringo
guy 2: wtf relax man
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.
A slippery person that just knows how to slime their way through everything.
