Your missing the point. Gringa=bad feeling-(feeling less than).
You are missing the point. You WANT to interpret her remark in a negative manner. The remark itself, in context, wasn't all that negative. She was talking about not being fluent enough in Spanish to respond to her parents in Spanish. And not being able to do so made her feel bad.
You confuse Free Speech with Patritotism. Just because she says it, doesn't mean I agree with it, nor do I consider it a virtue to talk down towards the country that opened its doors to her family.
Any other hater's you fully support, Greg?
She's not a hater.
She's a 14-year old girl.
She didn't talk down the United States at all.
She said she couldn't always respond to her parents in their native language because she's not fully fluent in that language, and that when this happened, she felt bad.
Any other 14-year-old girls you'd like to demonize, Aero?

The comment was also directed towards her. If she insulted anyone, she insulted herself.
I bet there are ESL classes her parents could take, probably for free.
Since she responds to her parents IN ENGLISH, I suspect they have no need of such classes. But feel free to attack her parents as well as this 14-year-old girl. The attacks tell us just how classy a person you are.

I don't want anything. I am speaking from personal experience with almost 50 years living and interacting within Latino culture. Yeah that does make me an expert with these types of cultural mores that are imposed on Latino children.

No .. she said she didn't want to sound like a gringa ... substitute that with pic with an S in front (can't even type the word because it's filtered, go figure! Gringa, gringo, cracker is all good) and then tell me that wouldn't be considered a slur.
But lets face it ... there is no boundary to liberal lunacy ... starts off that we need to pay our tax money for immigrants to learn enough english to be marginally productive ... now, we have to teach them their native freaking language too?
And apparently, you see nothing untoward about that.
You heard the man, - it is patriotic to trash the kid.
It's also in fashion.
