is gringo a racist term?
from the Webster's Dictionary
gringo
n : a Latin American (disparaging) term for foreigners (especially Americans and Englishmen)
from yourdictionary.com
Word History: In Latin America the word gringo is an offensive term for a foreigner, particularly an American or English person.
So when these illegals call me an illegal I am the foreigner in my own country...that is another debate all together.
Why am I bringing this up? Well as I was walking through the grocery store I noticed this brand of chips called "Green Mountain Gringo Tortilla chips." I was like now if there were other chips with racist slurs in there name for other races these people would be in an uproar. But it is OK to call food brands racist names geared toward whites? The most ridiculous thing is this company is out of Vermont
So I started looking up brands with gringo in them and was pretty surprised how many things are named with "gringo" in them. Does this bother anyone else or am I overreacting?
