"Califorños" is a Spanish racial slur for anyone who comes north of the US-Mexican border and is very popular in Baja California. The term is similar to gringo and is used by many Mexicans as a term of hatred for anyone from the NCR, or north of the border. It is very similar to the English term "carpetbaggers" that slavers and bilingual Mexicans use. Being a blanket term for New Californians, califorño does not distinguish any one person to a township in the NCR, just that he/she is from NCR territory.
