When Casca, one of the conspirators against Caesar, proclaims Relax Gringo I’m Legal shirt. The fact that someone uses the word does not indicate that they’re trying to convey negativity. Is their use purely informational and factual, or does it have an emotional impact? Context matters a great deal in communication. Some people who say “gringo” may simply be referring to a “foreigner” and “someone not from around here, who don’t know our custom, way of life, and language”. It’s not about race, although it can happen to coincide with race. That has more to do with the mixed demographics found at locations where this word is most likely to be used.

Rather than exclusively used against white people. Like with the word “foreigner”, it also depends on the speaker’s belief system about foreigners. If they have a typical aversion or distrust towards people not like them, then it’s probably the word is used as a shorthand to communicate dislike and disdain. Determining a stranger to be a “foreigner” is not simplistic. It depends on how shrewd and observant the speaker is, and clearly a lot of us resort to the fast (and crude) categorization of who’s a foreigner and who’s not, despite telling clues. This happens even in cosmopolitan New York, where Americans who happen to be not white or black may get assumed to be “foreigners” and non-English-speaking.
