I am greatly shocked, appalled, and offended by the term “gringo lady.” The term should have been “la gringa;” or in the case of a gringo man, it should have been "el gingo." In Spanglish, I ask the PC crowd: You entendation? ; - )

Nah. The PC Police wouldn't put anything into a language that is intrinsically non-PC, would they? After all, any language that insists on assigning gender to all its nouns must, by PC definition, automatically be considered sexist, and therefore unemployable.
