Not a gangster, but a mexican gangster. I don't get where all these white boys think that a cholo is a gangster. Its a mexican gangster.

Slang term used mainly by people from Mexico, used to describe a gangster. Or anyone that dresses like one.

Mexicans who think they live in the ghettos,think they are cool,and think they are gangster material. It's normal for people to find them annoying.

The word cholo means half breed, like mestizo, only in a more deragatory sense. Used to label Mexicans in the U.S. who neihter fit in with U.S. or Mexican culture, and flamboyently flaunt and take pride in that fact. An extension of Pachuquismo, cholos are hated in both U.S. and Mexico. Our styles have derived from this attitude as a way of expression and identification.

I'm a spanish major, I have studied in spain and mexico for many years. The actual definition means " a person that was cut out of his family", comes from the word, " cortar, cortado,.. (to cut ). An orphan is diferent because a cholo was "cut" out of his family for being a dumbass, while an orphan was abonded at birth. That is why people born in latin america refer to cholos as cholos because they are always out on the street and cut out of their families for being trouble makers. Little kids and first generation hispanics don't know this word because their lack of knowledge of the spanish language. Now cholo is a way of living and dressing due to stupid media and hollywood! "cheech and chong"
Did you know, Cholos don't even exist in mexico or latin america, The cholo concept was born in the U.S. To most hispanics and latinos, cholos are a piece of shit group that give bad names to other hispanics. They are a disgrace to hard working and educated hispanics and latinos.
