There are a good number of Americans who are not blonde hair blue eyes and speak fluent Spanish of both forms the European form and the Latin American form. We don’t look nor sound like the “gringo” you speak of we will be welcome in Latin America. Most native truly native Texans fit my above description we are Latin American by blood by language and by culture. The border crossed us in the 1700/1800s not the other way around.
Well goody for you.
