>>219585160I call anyone who isn't from the south a yankee(Brits are yankees).
Have you ever noticed how other languages have an actually derogatory word for foreigner? Why doesn't English, of all languages, have one?
>>219587546Gringo isn't derogatory in Brazil tho
>>219587555Gringo is definitely meant to be a derogatory term by its very etymology.
>>219587573Not here
>>219587576Why use it if it was meant to be derogatory? Why use it at all? You're just coping to say there's no derogatory meaning behind it. Why can't you use a word that has no such connotations, like something simply meaning "foreigner", i.e. someone that is foreign?
>>219587573>by its very etymology.? gringo comes from greek, as in "it's all greek to me"
>>219585221White Americans are uncontested gringos ( nobody debates they are gringos) , non white Americans are in contested gringo territory ( there is no consensus among the left and the right that they are as American as the first category)
>>219587613Fundamentally unserious word meant to mock and degrade the outgroup.
>>219585194This shit is always funny, gringos have no idea about the crioulo part, they will come here call a black guy crioulo and wonder why they got arrested by racism>>219587595It may have been born like that, but common term usage has no negative to it here, we always use the word gringo to any foreigner
>>219587702I just don't get why you insist on a word that doesn't take its own subject matter seriously. There's no respect, neutrality or civility in the word.
>>219587763We have an article almost every week in journals about words we use daily with severe racist and offensive nature, it doesn't matter at all to 99% of people, language is a living thing, they entered common lexicon and changed with time, which is why we always say to look at informal dictionaries more than formal ones, you leave 4chan and talk to a random brazilian on the streets about movies and you will hear gringo reffering any actor of any colour in seconds
>>219587614What i'm saying is that most people would not see an Indian american/ mexican american/ chinese american and instantly think "gringo" it would be more likely that a white Canadian was thought of as a gringo because they speak English, they are white and North american and their accent is not too distant from the American accent. Black people are a somewhat different case because they have lived in America for a longer time and they don't really have cultural ties to other countries like Indian Americans or Mexican Americans do.>>219587546English has more racist words than Spanish, in Spanish we don't have racist words for koreans, Japanese people, Argentinians or people from the middle east, while English does. I don't think we have a racist Word for Indians either, but anglophones came up with the word "jeet" and Paki, we also don't have a specific slur for people from Pakistan
>>219587546>Have you ever noticed how other languages have an actually derogatory word for foreigner? They don't >Why doesn't English, of all languages, have one?Because you have a separate slur for every kind of foreigner you've ever interacted with instead
>>219587833>>Why doesn't English, of all languages, have one?>Because you have a separate slur for every kind of foreigner you've ever interacted with insteadTrue.Just off the top of My heard: jeet, argie, Paki, wetback, sandn***er, chink, gook, canuck, shitalian, frog, kraut ( we don't have slurs for Germans, italians or French people in my language either)
>>219587833You're contradicting yourself
>>219587882you call us gabacho
>>219587906I never heard that. Gabacho in México is a word that is used informally to refer to the United states.
>>219587935gabacho is what spaniards call the french. presumably we repurposed it for invaders since both the french and the US invaded us in the 1830s
>>219587882You have a slur for fucking Catalans. You expect me to believe this?
>>219587702>they will come here call a black guy crioulo and wonder why they got arrested by racismnever happenedvira lata revenge fantasy
>>219587573>>219587595>Gringo is definitely meant to be a derogatory term by its very etymology.It literally isn't, you fucking retard.Gringo LITERALLY just means foreigner. Any negative connotation that was attributed to the word is very specific to some countries, like in Mexico where they specifically use it towards White Americans due to historical reasons.

>>219588166I don't know who edits this wiki
>>219588322why are you latinxers so desperate to lump us with you?
>>219587595>Why use it if it was meant to be derogatory?I have no idea how it entered our language but we never used it derogatory
>>219587968Yeah but Catalonia is in Spain
