Gringos, Yanquis = Americans

PitÃ*s, MaÃ±eses = Haitians

Cocolos = British/Dutch West Indians, even though the term have sort of stuck and it doesn't have the same derogatory value that it did before.

Turcos = MENA inmigrants.

Chinos = Every Asian group of Mongoloid race is called this no matter the ethnicity. It can be derogatory depending on the moment it's used, or to whom you refer as such (if you call a Korean or a Japanese as such, you'd have made an enemy for life, guaranteed).
