Can you imagine the uproar if I used the word "spic" or, God forbid, the "n" word (as we now have to refer to it) in an Anglo promotion?
Oh yeah, that's right, only white people are offensive, and only "minorities" can be offended. "

I'm confused by this person's letter.  A Hispanic eatery (Garcia Kitchen) is using the marketing slogan "Help stamp out gringo food." Is "gringo" a deroggatory term for non-hispanics? I've never heard this word before.
Can someone give me the jist surrounding the purpose of this story?
