Definition: Racist/Disparaging term for a white person (esp. male).
Originated during the Mexican-American wars, from a chant the Mexicans put together: "Green Go Home!" Was eventually shortened to Gringo.
That gringo thinks he's better than me 'cos he's white. Hell no, man, we both work at the same place and live in the same neighborhood!

A racist term used by Mexicans and other hispanics referring to Americans - a hateful term used frequently and commonly - used by many who envy Americans, and hate because Mexico and other hispanic states are so disfunctional and failures.
The gringos should learn by our boycott that we are better than gringos.

A male Caucasian or white man. It’s NOT offensive or derogatory, as most white people believe even though their first language is usually not Spanish. We can’t exactly call you “el hombre blanco” which translates to “the white man”, so we call a white man a gringo.
A gringa is a female Caucasian or white woman.
I know all of this because, yes the first language I learned was Spanish, and I still speak it. So when a person says “llama la gringas” it translates to “call the white females”.
The word gringo is like the word black in English. Of course when a person says, “Oh, look at those stupid gringos, they’re all stupid” it’s just as offensive the same way a person would say “Oh, look at those stupid blacks, they’re all stupid”. Gringo is also like the Spanish word chino, which means a Chinese male, or an Asian male.
Unlike the many offensive terms for other ethnicities and races that the English language has(nigger, spic, wetback, beaner, chink, cracker), the Spanish isn’t so pinpoint in its offensive terms usually, and if there are, a lot of them are local terms.
Gringo/gringa can also be used to tease a Latino, Hispanic etc. person who is white in color and very fair skinned. My uncle calls me gringa, but it’s not offensive.
No son Africano, son gringo. (They're not African, they're white)

A guy from the race that invented the language that allows Mexicans to call whites "Gringo".
If it wasn't for white people, Mexicans would be using a crap Nahuatl term for white people rather than "Gringo".

It is an Italian word for foreigner (tyically Engish speaking). Latinos picked up the word after hearing the Italians use it. Latinos refer to both people from the USA and Canada as gringos (gringas for females).
