More of the white anglo part than the outsider.
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."
