What does, "no soy gringo" mean?
I read this on a shirt the other day in central america (nicaragua). I was thinking it was a satirical take on the stereotype of white people putting soy sauce on asian food, but then was second guessing that maybe it is a spanish saying, or part of one?
Any thoughts?

In central america and Mexico it means I´m not american, here in Argentina it could either mean I´m not Italian or I´m not blonde depending on the region, it doesn´t really have the same meaning everywhere.

i'm no longer a gringo [an Anglo-American from the rustic or Canada]. What have been you doing in Nicaragua with so little information of Spanish which you probable did no longer even understand that 'soy' capacity 'i'm"? Or grew to become that for the time of basic terms your little shaggy dogs tale?

I am not a gringo [an Anglo-American from the USA or Canada].
What were you doing in Nicaragua with so little knowledge of Spanish that you didn't even know that 'soy' means 'I am"? Or was that just your little joke?

"gringo" means that "I'm not a WHITE AMERICAN FROM THE USA" it's only refering to WHITE AMERICANS FROM USA. (because AMERICA is a continent)
