#polls #latin america #THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN EATING AT ME #hope this doesnt come off as a latin america vs diaspora thing. it's not! #i just thought might be more interesting to put it this way #i'm making this poll because sometimes i'll see people from like... africa or asia refer to themselves as ''gringos'' #in the context of latin america #AND IT'S ALWASY SO WEIRD TO ME. it just doesn't feel like it fits #so like... do you use ''foreigner'' x ''gringo'' interchangably? #to me a gringo is anyone from europe/north america regardless of ethnicity. it's more of a cultural thing #but only if they carry very heavily that... european/NA mentality #so a lot of diaspora for example i wouldnt consider gringos #because they don't have that level of... hm how do i say #innocent ignorance #that can be either endearing or extremely annoying
