It's been driving me crazy ever since I heard Becks new song Que onda guero, what does it mean?  Now, I know a little spanish and I know "Que onda" is "What's up" but I had no idea what guero was.  Back in my restaurant days (when I shaved my head) I was called pelon (which roughly means baldy) but I never heard guero nor was I ever called guero (even though I am a guero).  Well, curiosity got the better of me so I did some searching this morning and I found it; "Que onda guero?" is "What's up, whitey?" 

Hey, that's me... i'm a guero, rather; soy guero.

Ok, back to work.

UPDATE: For those of you reading the comments, guey (pronounced 'way') is basically spanish for dude.  Am I wrong here?
