Talk:Gringolandia

Regarding the question of "English or Spanish?", the word can and is used within both languages among US expats in Mexico, adopting the mildly derogatory term to express humor to other expats or faux-solidarity (irony explicit) with Mexicans. Use of the term in English can clearly denote a speaker's cultural point of view. — This unsigned comment was added by 200.52.66.220 (talk). [December 2009]

"...inhabited by White people..."?

Any sources that would indicate this rather erroneous meaning? Even among Hispanic Americans there are so called "White people", the meaning of Gringo mostly has to do with none Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking people (that are mostly of European decent), however most specifically those from the U.S. which Gringolandia is meant to convey as a country. I also think etymologically the word comes from the combination of "Gringo" and "Disneylandia" (the Spanish and probably Portuguese version of the brand) seeing it as one the greatest symbols of U.S. hegemony, at least commercially and/or culturally.

Move any attested translations to Gringoland if this fails (or even if it doesn't, that term seems more common than this one). - -sche (discuss) 20:51, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
