Sometimes I really do dislike some people simply because...I confess.

I also really do like some people simply because...

I generally detest stinkers. The types that have poor hygiene and don’t know to clean behind their flaps properly. Stupid people in other words and Happy Clappers that feel it’s a mortal sin to touch themselves in the naughty spots.

I don’t care about ethnicity…just don’t stink up the place and bruise my aura.

they are not white? I can’t believe I’m actually typing this but seeing as someone lumped me in the same sentence as “mud”, which is a deragatory term for Mexicans, I’d like to know what I’m dealing with. Playful Racist banter (like when Lokmar says Jigga) is funny but when folks start getting personal with it, I just gotta make sure I’m not dealing with the Brotherhood here :ROFL3:
You just got to deal with it and judge it as it comes, the same repetitive shit is boring, sometimes its funny like when I call you or Lily a Chupacabra, and some times its mean from mean types who have nothing better. thought Mud people was the middle East but whatever.
This place is loaded up on slang, UK working class, Australian, Italian American ,yiddish, ebonics, Texmex etc. You shouldn't take anything here personally just remember where you are.

There are quite a few that are mean spirited about it, but it can't be fixed.

I agree that there is a class issue...perhaps nobleblesse oblige. I know my very white and upper middle class partner has biases against certain groups but has never, not even once, used a racial slur. My working class ass has, my own kids and I playfully use the term "beaner".

My ex-husband, working class, used some of the most heinous slurs ever. He said things I hadn't even heard. He worked in the military defense industry and worked with a lot of vets. I slowly helped him learn to replace the slurs. He was S. American and was an English learner. He didn't think it was a big deal because all the guys spoke like that. It was OK at work, I suppose. However, it could easily be inadvertently used outside of work.

I was appalled and sill am when I encounter it. I'm not PC...I'm not interested is stripping away anyone's humanity.

beaner, wet back and boarder/river hopper all have class origins as does Gringo. Sometimes its just the way of the world.

Reading all 3 low vote definitions this a very fringe term, think its only the 4th time I have heard it, twice with reference to Desert people who build mud huts. People from Las Vegas as well then.
Pretty much is used for all collectively or selectively (blacks prominently but for any swarthy non-white persons).

Gringo simply means "American" in most of Mexico for sure. It doesn't necessarily have a class based usage. It does have the connotation of "white". I don't think a black American nor Hispanic American, etc would be called gringo.

They have a special designation for Mexican-Americans , years ago it was "pocho/a". The modern term is "sabos" for the incorrect conjugation of the verb "saber" that's common to those people who speak broken Spanish.

I recall hearing it had origins as Green Coat, or Green Go - Mexican/American war.
..but seems to apply to any foreign person.

Clearly it's used differently by region. I've yet to hear, in my entire life, a non-white American referred to as a gringo/a from a Mexican person. I have been called a "gringa" once or twice by a South American, which was somewhat startling.

Since there aren't rules as to how the terms are used, people use them in diverse ways.
