¿Black Gringos?

Yahoo won't let me use the Spanish word for black, but... Fill in the stars...

Down here in South America it seems to be incresingly popular to talk about "gringos ******" or "black gringos." It strikes me as somewhere between an oxymoron and a double racism. What do you think?

    Wow. I'm speechless, to be perfectly honest. I think you have a point though. Thanks for the heads up, now I know what to look forward to when I go to South America one day. Good thing I can speak Spanish ^_^

    I think all gringos are simply gringos regardless of the color of their skin.

    Isn't that just a Black American. How is that an oxymoron?
