I’m guessing you’re white if you are this offended 🤣 your kind is the last that should be crying about racism seriously

It’s ridiculous. Gringo is not a derogatory term. And I happen to be a gringo myself.

I’m media Colombiana, born and raised in the United States. Please don’t impose Anglo-Saxon culture onto other countries. The term “gringo” is not offensive in Colombia. As someone else mentioned, we also call people “gordito” o “flaquito”, too, and Matt call any brunette “negrita” (even if she’s white). We sometimes use physical attributes as terms of endearment. It’s not meant to be offensive in any way.
However, saying that there is reverse racism and that the experience of a caucasian man is at all similar to the racism and opression experienced by people of color is incredibly ignorant. I don’t know where you teach multicultural education, but you should be ashamed of yourself. Color blind is not acceptable in this day and age, we must have an awareness of the oppressive experience of others and, sorry, white men do NOT suffer the same prejudices as people of color (including in Colombia). Fyi, I’m a Doctor of Social Welfare and I teach about oppression at an ivy league graduate school.

We are a gay couple.
It’s tough, language barriers at times, but he is stubborn, thinks he knows everything, and we fight all the time, the only time we are not fighting is when we are having sex.
Been married 5 years already….

Thanks
Terry

We don’t use it in a pejorative way at all! I have been living in the states for 13 years and I am now a gringa for some of my friends. Gringo is only a way to call someone from the 🇺🇸. Hugs Catalina.
