"There once was a dog named Dingo
He lived in Baja with some Gringo
He disliked being called dog names like "Bingo"
But his bark was much worse than his lingo"

I have always found the word "Gringo' Offensive. I have said so on this board several times.
I started out with my Mexicanos Friends many , many years ago in Loreto when I gave them a Lesson on the Beach.
I told them that they call me an Americano, I call them a Mexicano. Otherwise if I am addressed as Gringo I will call them a "Greaser' or a "Spick".
that solved the problem and I was only addressed that way one time and the young man was corrected by his Father who told him to address me as an
Americano

I've maintained all along that it is almost always a situation matter. That, plus usually, the group in the majority is more immune to slurs. The good
news is that younger generations are more open to diversity and generally are less offended by words that may have been lightning rods to older folks.
G'night.
