depends which field you are standing in...
In Mexico my friends would say - those Americans blah blah
and i would say no they are Italian/German etc
And they would say - how do you know?

Dont forget when we are out of our fishpond we are foreigners who 'all look the same'
in Mexico a white person is a Gringo
in Africa a white person is a Mzungu

no differentiation

if you can't beat em join em - I have a tshirt saying Mzungu which i wore with pride in Africa.....yes thats my tribal group!
