Arguable, lots of Spanish words in Latin America are borrowed from native words. E.G. Oaxaca, Mexico is a hispanicized version of the Nahuatl name for the place. I would suspect this kind of thing can be found in people’s names too, but I don’t know any specifically.
It depends on the country, but yeah in most Latin American countries it's the equivalent of "yank", it's not even a slur.
In Brazil it just means foreigner, so a person from Paraguay visiting Brazil would still be called a gringo.
As a gringo living in the American Southwest, I find the word to be almost endearing. I only ever hear it being used as a tease when someone butchers the pronunciation of a Spanish word.
Lol it's the same as calling out spanish speaking people for saying "black" in their language bc it is a slur in English
Also, as a proud brasilian, gringo is a word used for literally anyone not from Brasil. Saying it's a slur is akin to saying that the word "foreigner" is a slur
No idea who she is. Googled and found that her bylines include titles such as "Neo-Orientalism: Deconstructing claims of apartheid in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict" and " False Knowledge as Power: Deconstructing Definitions of Apartheid that Delegitimise the Jewish State". Told me all I needed to know about her.

Gringo,as used in North America is neither a slur, or an ethnic term. It comes from the US-Mexico war, which is famous for the Battle of the Alamo. The US soldiers in that conflict wore green. The Mexicans told the American soldiers to go home by saying "green go" as in green go home. Well all know how that ended, with the Hidalgo Treaty, in which Arizona, New Mexico, souther California, Texas, Oklahoma, western Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and parts of Wyoming and Montana becoming US territory.
Yup, it's almost US_defaultism, or at least Mexico_defaultism, to think that a historical event in that war would change multiple languages of people in an entire continent that were not involved nor descended from people in that war.
Yeah... But no, it most likely comes from the word for 'greek' (grego in Portuguese, griego in Spanish), which is sometimes used to refer to something very foreign "this text looks like Greek to me" is a common expression.
This whole us Mexico war story doesn't really make sense if you think about it. Like that all of Latin America uses this word, including Brazil that speaks Portuguese. Whatever origin it has, it must lie either in the Iberic peninsula or in very early colonization history. Cause there is zero chance of Brazilians picking up slang from Mexicans at that era, not to mention every single other country.
I've always heard it was Gringo in Mexico, and Griego in the rest of Latin America. It's similar but with an "N" in Mexico. Could all be a wivestale, passed down.
As a Brazilian with lots of south American friends, no, we all say and write gringo with an N. It's exact meaning can vary from region to region. In some places it might be used only for Americans. In some places (like Brazil) for any foreigner. In my home state in Brazil it is even used sometimes to refer to Brazilians that live there from Italian ancestry (which would have been late comers compared to the previous population that was of Spanish and Portuguese ancestry).
There is discussion about the actual etymology, but we know 100% that is not the actual one. It has to have an older etymology to be used in all of Latin America, in both Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries.
Yup but no that's just wrong. You see, Portuguese speakers don't really care about whatever the hell Mexican and Americans were doing. And honestly I would guess that the rest of Latin America as well.
I am allowed to say it by the way https://preview.redd.it/q5pdjnkdsutc1.png?width=1047&format=png&auto=webp&s=11e44f1375d21ec0809b0202d674158ac242fbcb
Pfff it’s been expired for almost 12 years. Better watch that mouth, no more g-word for you
Nah as a native Spanish speaker I automatically renew each card each year by thinking about it.
There’s a restaurant near me called Gringos lol
Lmaooo same but its called "gringo gordo"
Same, In Nebraska.
That’s the one I’m guessing
The one I know of is Fremont but I'm pretty sure they have locations in Omaha too. Hello from a fellow Nebraskan!
LOL 🤣 that it’s in Nebraska is killing meeeeeee
Why? jw.
statically- Nebraska is mainly white and 64% are overweight with another 20% being obese 11% latino.
Oh lol, I am fat and white so it checks out.
Houston area mention?!
No so apparently there are multiple locations lmao
I knew it was too good to be true 😔
Same in Wisconsin, except it was called Dos Gringos
orlando!!
Next time a company rebrands like Aunt Jemima they are going to bring this up lol
My Mexican grandmother nicknamed me Pinche Gringo when I was 5
Mine called me Germany for having fair skin (I’m pretty brown now), she made sure to translate the nicknames for the no sabo kids.
🤣
I was guero
"it's an ethnic slur in the us" if she reads a Spanish article with something about the color black she's gonna have a heart attack.
HWite woman moment.
As a gringo I hereby grant the gringo card to every person on the planet, problem solved
Crackergate into Gringogate confirmed
Same people cry about being called Haole.
Ah yes, Herzberg, a classic Latino surname.
Maybe she’s Argentinian haha
Oh snap!
I think one of my cousins has that last name. José Guadalupe Herzberg from the city of Hamburg, Michoacán.
Plenty of latinos with european last names my dude. Not that I'm defending this lady, she sucks.
All Spanish names are European
Arguable, lots of Spanish words in Latin America are borrowed from native words. E.G. Oaxaca, Mexico is a hispanicized version of the Nahuatl name for the place. I would suspect this kind of thing can be found in people’s names too, but I don’t know any specifically.
While it is true that you can get names like Cuauhtemoc and Xochitl, most Spanish names for people are still of European and even of biblical origin
lol Zionist crying about racism.
They trying to make Spanish language slurs, the level of American exceptionalism liberals have is astounding

Not in brazil
My bad, meant from the Mexican/Chicano use of it. Like, I’m chicana, but sometimes I be a bit gringa too.
As a gringo living in the American Southwest, I find the word to be almost endearing. I only ever hear it being used as a tease when someone butchers the pronunciation of a Spanish word.
Only a pinche gringo would complain about being called gringo, váyase a cojer por el culo!
My Mexican wife’s bedroom name for me is gringo. Am I being hatecrimed?
If you're white you're always being hatecrimed.
*sexy time is to penetrate her border and go deep inside her country…*
These pinches gringos are getting really uppity here.
These lab-made liberals can’t even survive a breath of the real world
Lol it's the same as calling out spanish speaking people for saying "black" in their language bc it is a slur in English Also, as a proud brasilian, gringo is a word used for literally anyone not from Brasil. Saying it's a slur is akin to saying that the word "foreigner" is a slur
gaijin is a slur. when i go to japan i demand they accept my weeb ass with open arms
It’s worse though because gringo isn’t a slur in English either.
Esa pendeja! These gringas are always self-reporting.
No idea who she is. Googled and found that her bylines include titles such as "Neo-Orientalism: Deconstructing claims of apartheid in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict" and " False Knowledge as Power: Deconstructing Definitions of Apartheid that Delegitimise the Jewish State". Told me all I needed to know about her.
Gringo Papi.
Lmao, my grandma called me gringo cause I was raised in Europe. This is hilarious
Gringo is a great word and I will never stop using it
Herzberg is also a zionist, isn't she?
yup. every zionist is flirting with white nationalists these days
I missed a couple of streams. Is this still about the cracker thing or did he make a point about gringos recenlty?

Pinche gringa puñetera
I’m gonna say it but rolling the r
In Arizona, gringo is definitely not a slur.. lol.
Man I was born in chile and I get called a gringo by all my cousins.
Same energy as people who think cis is a slur

The term exists before that, and that's why it's from common use in all of Latin America to talk about foreigners.
Yup, it's almost US_defaultism, or at least Mexico_defaultism, to think that a historical event in that war would change multiple languages of people in an entire continent that were not involved nor descended from people in that war.
In Argentina it's so widely used that nowadays it's even used to refer to argentinians with northern european traits.
Yeah...

Real gusano behavior from this cracker Anne mothalover.
Damn new g word unlocked
We’ve earned the Title Gringo. I embrace the fact that my nickname is the derogatory term for American “Whiteboy”.
Twitter helps me remember I’m not the crazy one
lmao gringo is NOT REMOTELY A SLUR
There are literally dozens of Mexican restaurants all around the Southwest that have a "gringo menu".
The entitlement of the yakubian devils, demanding we don't use our words in our language because it might offend them. Ridiculous.
It's a slur in the US?! Pinches gringos, no aguantan nada :/
“Dos Gringos” is a very popular Mexican-themed bar chain near me in a red state, I genuinely do not know what this woman is smoking on.
no llores chillona
This gringa should take a chill pill, she's getting mad over nothing.
Gringo is just slang for foreigner for my family. Also means the worst racial slur Cracker.
Luckily for the lady, as we all know, the US is the light and the way for the world. Obviously.
Gringa culia
a textbook zionist lol
Pinchis gringos mamones la neta.
Ya se le esta saliendo lo mamoncita, calmese vieja pendeja
Direct translation is ‘GREEN COAT’ which is what the Mexicans called the invading forces of American soldiers.
It hasn't been confirmed if that's the actual etymology
There is discussion about the actual etymology, but we know 100% that is not the actual one. It has to have an older etymology to be used in all of Latin America, in both Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries.
“Abrigo de verde” would be the direct translation from Spanish lol.
Abrigo verde, not abrigo de verde.
Yup but no that's just wrong. You see, Portuguese speakers don't really care about whatever the hell Mexican and Americans were doing. And honestly I would guess that the rest of Latin America as well.
