Bangkok's Mexican Gangsters

The difference between the video and cultural appropriation is the young Thai men. In the video are identified as Mexican Gangster, they are obsessed with these groups. But the Thai gangs don’t fight amongst themselves or deal in illicit drugs, both of which are hallmarks of real Latino gangs. In a nutshell, this is a brotherhood of style-conscious men who bond over baggy white shirts and gothic-baroque tattoos. It means that they just were captivated by their clean and simple style. Instead the process of cultural appropriation often provides a constant stream of styles which may be commercial. In other words, all of this is only seen by mass culture for commercial purposes.

On the other hand, the similarity between both is that although they are aware that they are seen as weird or crazy people in society and before the law, they don’t want to mess with anyone. Then, the purpose of these people is to imitate what they like or what they’re attracted to different cultures (Colombians, Mexicans, Americans, etc) enjoying what they do and have the support of their families.

On this issue I think we should respect the interests of other people, simply because they don’t interfere in our lives. I think everyone has the right to choose their clothes, tattoos, hairstyles and act the way they see fit.
