Thanks for sharing this with me! The whiteness part didn’t even occur to me, just otherness/Americanness. I was sort of following this: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/08/07/209266300/who-exactly-is-a-gringo …pic.twitter.com/vqGZb3S3mC

I definitely hear you on the out-of-context use, although that was kind of the point? But upon reflection, this is definitely an area where I should treat more lightly and carefully.

(I think my whole thread could be read as appreciation/curiosity, but also as an American just stomping around carelessly.)

Yeah, although that seems like a bit much for what I was going for; “gringo” wasn’t meant much more than a stand in for “foreigner.”

That would actually make for a good article, putting all these words and contextualizing them, and reflecting on what they mean.
