When did gringo become a slur...folk in Texas use gringo all the time; White folk included. Is White folk a slur? just checking
although I don't believe Gringo is a racists slur, but then again I'm not white. However the comment was extremely ignorant and insensitive. Those types of thoughts should be best left in one's own head.
Perhaps for the same reason a black person can use the "N" word when referring to a fellow black man, but a white guy can't?
I dont understand your post...my question is when did gringo become a slur.
Im not debating the "N" word or its use.
If you are an anglo-american[PC] person and you are offended by the term "gringo", then I want to know why. The term was never used in as derogotory identifier.

What is the post about ....using the word "gringo" is that it? Wow some supersensitive people here.
The word was used in an insensitive and ignorant way.
