Why do they call foreigners derogatory names, even if speaking neutrally about them? Is xenophobia really rooted that deep into their culture?

What do you mean exactly?

Whenever I hear you speak of foreigners you use words such as gringo or guiri, even when speaking English. Maybe it's more prevalent on the internet but I haven't noticed other cultures using slurs for foreigners like that

Gringo isn't an offensive word

calla gringo chupapinga

a lot of names started as a scientific way to name a person ethnic or a way to identify foreigners.
In Spain the word negro was originally created to identify a black person from Africa, same as the word indio to identify someone from India and gringo to identify someone from anglo countries all of these were never intended to be offensive but as always racism twist the good things and make it an offensive slur because of the tone of the word being said.
Today if you call a native latinamerican the word indio, he will feel offended, not the same as africans being called negro because here in latam most understand that's the name of the color, but it depends on the tone of the person saying it.
Gringo was never considered an insult to anglos because it was never said with an insulting tone, but after trump it may change the tone and perception of the word.
this is a good example

Gringo burro
