"Gringo" means "White with European origin"

Latest comment: 5 years ago5 comments5 people in discussion

In Mexico, all White people are called Gringos. All Europeans are called Gringos. French, Germans, Italians, Portugueses, Spaniards are called Gringos. Gringos is a racial term for White peoples with European origin. Arabs aren't called Gringos--Monsieur Fou (talk) 15:20, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

It may have this meaning in Mexico, but in Brazil it is used to refer to any foreigner. Jgsodre (talk) 19:37, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm from Mexico, and that is totally false, furthermore, why does rely on someone who gives an example as bad as calling "White peoples" to Spaniards???... "Gringo" is only used for Americans here, only working-class people calls "Gringos" to foreign Whites because do not know that there are more countries, wanting to call "Americans" believing "they are".

at first i was shocked that gringo= white people interpretation was not mentioned at all, but then again wikipedia completely fails with anything regarding race — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.97.235.29 (talk) 17:41, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

You may also be shocked that Spanish is spoken in more than one place, including countries that are largely white, where "gringo" has a different meaning. 2605:6000:770A:9500:DD8A:C082:5344:3053 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:14, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
