Re:Re:Gringo
Gringo is a slang term used by Hispanics in the United States and Mexico to describe white people. Some people take it as a joke and other people get offended by it.

Re:Re:Re:Re:Gringo
In Argentina we're very mixed. We don't call 'gringo' to white people, we call 'gringo' to german blonde men, in very specific areas of our country. (fem. 'gringa')
My dad's family comes from German, and most of them are very very blondes, and they are often called 'gringos'. But is not offensive.
