Heh when I lived in Ecuador my name became gringo whenever someone didn't know me. In fact we referred to all of us Americans in Ecuador as the "gringos." I knew where it came from but we just used it as a simple way to discern the ex-pats. In fact it extended beyond Americans to include any British or Australians living there as well.
