The G-word

Gringa.

White girl.

You would think after a year and a half people would stop calling me gringa. Or at least I would get used to it. Neither of these things have happened.

At first it didn't bother me. I called myself a gringa. It was a joke. But seriously people. You know my name. And if you don't say joven (miss) or muchacha (girl). I know I live in the campo but that is no reason for ignorance. I don't say hey panamanian. It just doesnt make sense.

Oh and gringa most certainly is not my first name. "Hola gringa" is simply unacceptable.

End rant.
