Not just any English speaking country... its the USA, in the case of Mexico, when at war with the US, the US soldiers whore Green uniforms, and since the mexicans where trying to get rid of them they shouted out Green GO! Green GO! Green GO Home!!! that is were gringo came from... or so I have heard.
When I lived in Brasil, they seemed to call any stranger gringo, including myself...
