Regarding the racism debate.

Cholo is not a racist term. The poster's message was hate-filled but contained no derogatory terms.. just derogatory statements. The words Dirty and Mexican are not racist, but if one were to say "Dirty Mexican!" it becomes a borderline racist statement.

I don't care what internet site defines the world "Cholo" as. I'm born and raised in Los Angeles and Cholo is a term used meaning a Hispanic Gangster or Thug. It has nothing to do with cars or clothes, though typically Hispanic Gang Culture does gravitate towards certain cars and clothing styles.

The kid with the gun and his friend are Cholo's. Little Gangsters or Thugs. It's evident to anyone who has been around that culture by their style of dress and even the way he holds the gun.
