Default Re: Gringo. ¿Que signífica?

I am a white American Citizen who is 50% cuban and 50% german. That being said, because all of the cubans in my family can trace ancestory to Spain, GRINGO has always meant

SOMEONE WHO ACTS WHITE.
Main word being ACTS!!!!!!


Anyone can act white. (ie faking a gringo accent when speaking spanish though you speak fluently and spanish was your firstlanguage.)

Anyone can act gringo.... and therefore be gringo

it is something that can be overcome.

Another example is that I hate rice. I am a cuban who loathes rice and never eats rice. But I am not gringo because it isn't that I only eat tasteless white rice, it is that I don't eat rice at all.
