Gringo

Gringo

Gringo is a term used in Latin America, existing in both Portuguese and Spanish. It can denote different meanings according to the country or region that is used. In general, the term is applied to foreign individuals residing in or passing through the country. The most accepted version of its origin comes from the Greek Spanish, in allusion to expressions like 'this is Greek for me', and dates back to the eighteenth century. Other versions are popularly used, such as the name of the song Green Grow Lilacs, sung by US soldiers in the war against Mexico, in which the United States incorporated the southwest and west coast of the country, or British railroad orders in Brazil: red stop , green go !, but are refuted academically. There is some controversy whether or not the term is pejorative, as there is also controversy over who is or is not "gringo" from the point of view of a Brazilian. Normally, the higher a Brazilian's socio-economic level, the greater the number of nationalities and cultures to which he applies the term. Gringo é um termo utilizado na América Latina, existente tanto em português quanto em espanhol. Pode denotar significados diferentes de acordo com o país ou a região que é utilizado. De maneira geral, o termo é aplicado para indivíduos estrangeiros, residentes em ou de passagem pelo país. A versão mais aceita de sua origem vem do espanhol griego, em alusão a expressões como 'isto é grego para mim', e remonta ao século XVIII. Outras versões são popularmente usadas,como o nome da canção Green grow lilacs, cantada pelos soldados estadunidenses na guerra contra o México, na qual os EUA incorporaram o sudoeste e a costa oeste do país, ou as ordens de ferroviários britânicos no Brasil: red stop, green go!, mas são refutadas academicamente. Há certa controvérsia se o termo é ou não pejorativo, como também há controvérsia sobre quem é ou não é "gringo" sob o ponto de vista de um brasileiro. Normalmente, quanto mais alto o nível sócio-econômico de um brasileiro, maior é o número de nacionalidades e culturas a que ele aplica o termo.
