Guero is not to be confused with gringo. This term isn't as racialized as the other definitions would lead one to believe. It is a descriptive term used to refer to anyone with a lighter skin complexion. It is NOT exclusive to any one racial or ethnic group( eg: whites and light-skinned Latinos can fall into the "guero" category.) In Mexico, and in other Spanish speaking countries, it is often a term of endearment used to describe men with lighter skin complexions. It is in contrast to "prieto", which is a term of endearment used towards darker skinned men.
