You are talking about someone who probably listens to Justin Bieber and plays with dolls. Not something I'm going to lose sleep over.

2.GRINGA87 up, 53 downA female native speaker of English, unrelated to race. Gringa is often defined as disparaging slang for a foreign female in Latin America. But that's no longer true in Costa Rica, if it ever was. We are gringos, the locals are ticos.

I take her comments with a grain of salt, however the trashing she is receiving is very uncool.

It is amusing watching conservatives jump on every little thing to prove their "point" without bothering to do any research, though.

So the girl is basically saying she feels like a foreigner, which is not a good thing. It seems like the class she is enrolled in is trying to change that. Where is the problem? Faux outrage or another example of bashing youth.?

I bet there are ESL classes her parents could take, probably for free.
