My statement was in response to the statement "…turn off a lot of white people." Not gringos. I didn't write, anything about gringos. I guess white Hispanics could be turned off by not having a gringo, but that seems weird.

I didn't know white people couldn't be Hispanic.

The song was written by Harry Chapin's wife, and then was a hit for him so he had to sing about how his wife thinks he's not a good dad for years across the country. He's not a deadbeat dad he provides for the family financially just not emotionally. The kid grows up to ignore the father not his own kid and wife.
