Talk:Guiri

Guiri is not an ethnic slur

"especially with pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes" That's just not true. Many Northern Europeans believe that their physical traits are very exotic or unique in the eyes of Southern Europeans, thus they tend to associate the word guiri with those traits. The truth is that blonde people and blue eyes are not that uncommon in Southern Europe (and there's definitely no significant difference in color of skin).

What truly defines a guiri is dressing in awful style (e.g. sandals with socks), not taking basic precautions when exposed to the summer sun (sunburnts), getting drunk at or even before lunch time, and generally behaving like an obnoxious tourist.

However, the term guiri is very often used in a broader sense to refer to all tourists and ex-pats of any race or condition, excluding immigrants from poorer countries. Drar3g (talk) 07:46, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
