I lived in Puerto Rico for 3 years, San Diego for 4, and Yuma for 2. I guess I'm stoopid, because I was always convinced that 'gringo' was a durogatory term used to describe caucasians. Guess I was all wet all those years.

Of COURSE the term referred to caucasions (or above the border persons, but it was descriptive, and certainly NOT derogatory. (Tone of voice could make a difference tho) To a Mexican or wetback or even South american, I am a Gringo. and when I visited Mexico, I was a visiting GRINGO.
