Hi, Mexico and Spain are Western cultures. --81.184.22.189 (talk) 18:48, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I edited the article to include "pejorative" in the description of the term as it is used in the United States as a reference to White or Anglo people as well. Since "gabacho" seeks to describe people based solely on the color or their skin, the term isn't any different than using other similar offensive terms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.104.185.30 (talk) 21:01, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

What does "gabacho" have to do with sugar cane?

The article says "Sugar cane leftovers after chewing (usually spit out garbage) and usually white.". Why is this there? How is this related in any way to the word "gabacho"? Does "gabacho" mean sugar cane, or sugar cane leftovers? If so, the article should mention it.

Related terms, do Americans think Spanish people aren't white?

The related terms are all for white western European people, which Spaniards are - so it makes no sense having that there, unless you include different slurs used by different European groups for each other. It seems to be implying that Spanish people are non-white and French people are white, which is nonsensical when they're almost the same people in appearance and genetics and have a similar culture..

Anglo?

I don't agree with using the term Anglo for English speakings caucasian or whites. Anglo specifically means English, so calling them Anglos is like calling all Hispanics Spaniards or Spanish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.196.54.246 (talk) 23:11, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Hispanic literally refers to Spanish people - aka white Europeans. So it makes even less sense than how Anglo is used.

Americans?

I don't agree with using the term American to refer to US people. South Americans are as Americans as North Americans. Or does anyone think that South America refers to Texas and Florida?

"the Catalan word gavatx meaning foreigner"

Actually, the Catalan word gavatx (and its equivalent gavach in Occitan) doesn't initially mean foreigner, rather someone who comes from the North, and it has encompassed various categories of people across history and regions (in Catalonia and Southern France).

Shouldn't gavacho be mentioned in this article?

Shouldn't gavacho, which seems to be an alternate spelling, be mentioned in this article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 04:20, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
