Do you consider "gringo" to be a racial epithet?

[Marshall Theodore]

Nope, since that`s just what I am to LatAms: a foreigner.

Last post I deleted was a misinterpretation. I repeat that it took me 5 seconds to realize it was a Tooting Carmen thread (nothing personal, just your style).

It's racial as in: A blonde and nordic-leaning person tends to be called gringo as a nickname. Not the case with Asians though.

It's not racial as a demonym for foreigners. My community is often called "Gringo" by most who are not from our region. I myself was very rarely called gringo because it takes a good bit of anthrotardism to separate Italians that are not very Noric or Borreby leaning from the average Portuguese stock white Brazilian. The only thing that denounces my ethnicity is my accent.

Gringo here can be used to depict a yank or a blondie.

So who are you more likely to call a "Gringo": Will Smith or Seb Larsson?
