Is It Disrespectful for American People to Be Called "Gringo"?

We always use this word to speak about American people, but we do not have no intention to sound or to be offensive. with them, it "Gringo" is a normal word here in Mexico, and there's even a newspaper in English, in Baja California, called "Gringo Gazette".
But Nonetheless, I don't use this word when I'm in the US. I go there almost every 2 weeks to buy stuff in Walmart, Costco, etc.

What do you think about it? Have you ever been called this way a "gringo?" 

I LOVE GRINGOS AND GRINGAS!!
