@sowonthego: Replying to @Arthur ᐢ-⑅-ᐢ it’s not a matter of IF you’re a gringo but a matter of WHEN you’re a gringo #gringa #americanabroad #blackgirltravel

🇧🇷 here, I think it’s because it means “foreigner” to us and we actually like foreigners so it’s a term of endearment

I think it's worth mentioning, that at least speaking for the Brazilian usage, when we call someone gringo is just a "name", we don't mean anything negative about it.

This is so interesting! I was in Honduras where my husband is from talking with my sister in law from Brazil. We spoke in Spanish bc she didn’t speak English and I didn’t speak Portuguese and she referred to both of us as being gringas - now it makes sense!

The people in LA use gringo wrong then because they’re gringo too if they’re born and raised in the USA. Gringo just means from the USA.

in fact, in brazil, if your from other states, you might get the "pra gringo é mais caro" tax in rio de janeiro's beaches.

in mexico gringo is anything from the us. either people, things. even “united states” is called “gringolandia” (gringo-land) so i’ve never used gringo for white people

Gringo only means “white” in the US, even in Mexico “gringo” means American.

And we are not gonna call you American because for us all the continent are America, we are all Americans, so gringo is a easiest way that

In Mexico we use that word for Americans in general, no matter the race or the ethnicity. If you are from U.S, you are gringo.

Raquel Lemos :
if you’re not brazilian you’re a gringo, it’s pretty simple. sometimes even if you are brazilian but you’re too white or have some other ethnic background people might call you gringo as a nickname, just for the fun of it
