I was researching Nicaragua and he noticed Daniel Ortega on my screen and said “when I lived in Nicaragua we weren’t allowed to talk about him” I said “he’s done good stuff for Nicaragua and he said “he’s corrupt and pays people to run against him and lose,” “he supports Russia pillaging Ukraine” “my American family member had more freedom than us, so we moved to the here,” then I annoyedly did a bunch of research to prove him wrong (and Wikipedia is a terrible source on it) then I didn’t have any time to tell him anything more. (Btw of course he’s white, white people only make up 17% of the Nicaraguan population) IDK if gusanos can be non-Cuban, but if they can then that he is.
It is not a racial slur but it is a slur, as it is any word intended as an insult or to shame. It is not a racial slur because it has nothing to do with race but with the way the person acts, you obviously wouldn’t call an Irish a gusano because he doesn’t speak spanish, you would call him a worm. The word gusano literally just means a worm, as in the animal or as in having no respect bc of his actions just like it does in english. Also it’s weird that you capitalize the initial letter.
