“Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters”


    well people, first when i saw this title i junst start thinking about how weird these sounds, i mean being a gangster is one understanding thing but being a ganster of a country that is at the oposite side of the world is too weird. in cultures there exsist something called cultural appropiation, these means to appropiate of some aspect of one culture being of another culture. This is an evident example of cultural appropiation because Thais, well, they are a culture with specifict things and believes, and Mexican gangsters are a sub culture whith specific thins and believes too, so Thais appropiate of these aspecto of Mexican culture, the"gangster" style, also they do it respectfully, the do it because they like to not to joke on it so their behavior is good, they are not causing trouble to anyone while acting like this.while seeing these we can learn many things of these kind of sub cultures, things like how thwy like to dress, how the speak, what kinds of slang they use, etc. Also we can learn about Mexicans and Thais, things like their opinion of the corruption in their countries and things like that. so that was my point of wiew of “Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters”, good bye.

  1. I agree with you, this is a good example of cultural appropiation because thai men appropieted the gangster style, but also they do it very respectfully.
