Usually when someone says 'gringo' they mean it in a more derogatory way. And we use it for people who *usually* are non-Spanish speaking white people.

A more affectionate term that could be used is 'guero' which doesn't always necessarily mean "blonde."
Gabacha and gabacho are the two I find highly amusing. Doesn't offend me when someone says it, as they usually don't realize I know what they're saying.
