Gringo per se is not an insult, it's a word that refers to a foreigner or a person from the United States depending the location, just like calling a Honduran catracho, or tico to a Costa Rican.
However some people do use it as an insult or with a negative connotation, guess it depends in the context.
That is why, as a compliment, they use "fucking" before gringo:)
It's due to a sucky definition of the word racism, though it could apply to Caucasians in certain circumstances.
The flawed definition is, and I'm paraphrasing, when anyone of the majority expresses hatred or racial insults to anyone of a deemed minority.
The flaw I've seen in this is essentially this, at some point Caucasians won't be a majority race in the good ol' USA. So... when whites are a minority does that mean neo Nazis and the KKK are no longer racist?
Stupid definition.
I say any racist insults directed against anyone, even whites, is racism.
For the record, I'm Black... African American officially.
Any race that has been persecuted throughout history and had a term given to them in a derogatory manner, that is what constitutes the heel of hatred racism in today's society. Whites do not find it offensive because there is nothing derogatory linked to it throughout Caucasian history.
If a term is used with hatred or the same reference given in history which put a degrading label on a particular race, then you will get a vacation and that is deemed offensive. It is not that I think racism will offend any race and therefore I must ban so they don't get offended. I ban because it is referring to a disgusting time of humans destroying other humans lives on this planet. It makes me sick that humans can do that towards others, being a descendant of that is sickening.
Everyone knows what racist terms were once used as derogatory terms, playing innocent and pleading it is the same as "Whitey" is severely under educated.
Use those derogatory terms and you get removed. Some wont care and will see it as being too PC, but it will offend others. It only takes one person to be offended by a racist slur to have you removed.
