While most North Americans know cholo as Mexican slang, it's also a common term among Cantonese-speaking Chinese and Chinese-Americans, particularly those from Hong Kong. It connotes a coarse or rough male, usually in his teens or early twenties. Oddly, it's pronounced exactly the same.

Me (peruvian) and my (colombian)friend agree that cholo is a term used for poor, stupid, native people of the Andes Mountains. They have nothing to do with Mexican culture (especialy "gangsters")

a cholo is the Mexican/American and the culture after the zootzooter generation of the 1930's 40's 50's and today. I am a cholo and in my third year into motion picture and video major and I have never been in a gang. A cholo is a member of a culture.
