A curious new trend has emerged in Bangkok, where young Thai men are identifying as “Mexican gangsters.”

On the outside, many of these Thais resemble the Cholos who inspire them. Their clothes, tattoos, and hairstyles emulate those sported by real homies. That said, tattoos and bling do not a gangster make.

Perhaps what most separates the Thais from the Mexicans they imitate is that almost all of them hold innocuous 9-5s as teachers, policemen and bureaucrats. Many are family men, and some admitted to consulting their wives before getting certain tattoos. Needless to say, the Thai gangs don’t fight amongst themselves or deal in illicit drugs, both of which are hallmarks of real Mexican gangs. In a nutshell, this is a brotherhood of style-conscious men who bond over baggy white shirts and gothic-baroque tattoos.

White subtitles on a video where most of the people are wearing white shirts, brilliant editing.

I was actually expecting sombreros and ponchos when I read the thread title but this is just as funny and ridiculous.

MEXICAN GANGSTERS don't dress up like that. What they're dressing up as are "low-riders", "chicanos", "cholos", "chucos", "USA-born Mexican descendants in low-income neighborhoods like East Los Angeles", "Magnolia/East End in Houston," "Vatos Locos Forever", etc. You will not find dudes dressed like that in MEXICO.

Region/cultural FAIL.

I want to be a gangster, I do, I want to be a crip but minus the gangbanging and shooting people because if you take all that away it seems like they just dance, and go to barbecues, all the time. Just have fun has a gang – hey, cuz, pass the potato salad. These barbecues great, you want to go to bandana shopping after this? I really enjoy being a Crip, camaraderie is my favorite part.
