Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters


From my point of view the things I think that Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters are an example of cultural appropriation because we can see how someone is trying to imitate something from other culture. They are clearly an example because they are a group of people to have a normal life but share a empathy for certain culture. But clearly do not do everything just as many Mexicans however these people just take this as a hobby. From my point of view I things that this phenomenon isn´t good  because many people tend to do things that are not of their culture, that is, do things that have never been instilled in them. I mean how someone can do something that is not tightly bound or feel a type of appreciation. I bet none of these imitators known mexico. I can say that it is better appreciate our own culture and is something we lack many Colombians.
Besides this we can learn from these groups as making a bad copy of a culture and nothing else. XD

  1. I agree with you, Hector. I agree with the fact that we have to appreciate our culture and a good possesion of it. However, I believe that it isn't a bad thing to have an influence from another culture as long with appreciate ours and don't forget it.
