Why Do We Get Called "Gringos"? 🇲🇽🇪🇸🇨🇴🇨🇴🇬🇹🇦🇷🇧🇷🇨🇷

#mexico #colombia #brasil #brazil #argentina #nicaragua #guatemala

Pretty much the entire Spanish speaking world uses the term #gringo but what does it really mean? Americans think that it is all about them. And many thing that it comes from Green Grow the Lilacs sung by American soldiers during the Mexican American War. But is that accurate? What is the history of this world, is it offensive or pejorative, or are we misunderstanding how it is being used? How should you take it when you hear it?
