| | Brazil - Brazzil Magazine - In Brazil, Not All Gringos Are Created Equal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | "Gringo", as I shall show here, means "that which is not of us, but is among us", an apt description for any foreigner in a world where life is increasingly lived across national boundaries and where acculturation, even into the second and third generations, seems more of an ideal than a reality. |
 | | Gringo, according to the author, was in use in Spain and Portugal centuries before the United States invaded Mexico - it was in use before the U.S. even existed, in fact. |
 | | Gringo is used all over latin america, I went to Colombia in 2004 with my entire classroom, and many of the of latin descent, and they were still gringos too. |
