cholo (Mexican American, Hispanic American, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Refers to a Chicano and Latino subculture or lifestyle associated with a particular set of dress, behavior, and worldview that originated in Los Angeles. Cholo was once a derogatory term for people of mixed-bloodheritage in the Spanish Empire in Latin America and its successor states, but was reclaimed by Chicano youth in the 1960s and emerged as a popular identification in the late 1970s. Cholos/cholas are often stereotyped and unfairly associated with criminal behavior and gang activity. The cholo/chola subculture has spread to cities in the United States with large Chicano or Latino populations, including New York. |
