The term is a friendly expression to mean a foreigner that doesn´t have a good command (or none) of the Spanish language. If you are blonde, pale and your skin burns easily under the sun no doubt: you are a guiri.
I would consider a "guiri": an English man, Americans, Germans, French (in general people from North Europe) but not Italians, Portuguese, Africans, Asians or Hispanics. I guess it depends on who´s talking. One thing is for sure: if you are Spanish, you can´t be a guiri.
Sometimes just looking at the feet of people is enough ;)
