Cholo/Chola

Historical: From the Spanish caste system (Castas) of the 1600-1700s. The word "Cholo" is a RACIST and OPPRESSIVE Spanish term aimed at persons born of 3/4 Native American descent (Mestizo + Native= Cholo) and was considered by the Spaniards as one of the lowest levels of the Spanish caste system. It was meant to be cruel, demeaning, and derogatory. It was shortened by the Spaniards from the Nahuatl word, "Xoloitzcuintli" meaning a "monstrous dog", of (usually) mixed and disreputable birth. Persons in this caste were registered by Spaniards in segregated books for births, marriages, and death registrations in both religious and government registers.
Historical Racism: That Cholo/Chola is so beneath you! If you wanted to be seen with a dog, get a Chihuahua!

Cholo

Guy who's super loud, small and angry, and generally pissy. Good at combat for their small stature. Pretty curses in between every word, ever.
"Oh wow, that guy is SUCH a Cholo."

-Woah! Made out of %100 cholo silk?!?! That's a steal, and almost as cool as this jersey I'm wearing right now

-Yeah, but this cholo silk hoodie is easily the softest and thinnest cholo silk I've ever encountered, it was probably made by Tibetan monks

-*looks at the tag* It was.
