gringas
Non-Latina white women
Gringas is the feminine plural of gringo—a Spanish term for foreign women, especially American or other English-speaking women, used in Latin America.
The word can be neutral or mildly disparaging depending on context and tone: The gringas at the hostel wanted to visit the ruins.
Like gringo, it sometimes extends to any light-skinned foreigner.
