Appropriation of a foreign subculture

Hi again visitors. Well, this time I talk to you because I saw a video yesterday about a new trend in Bangkok, Thailandia. It's about a group of young Thai men who love the lifestyle of Mexican gangsters. Yep, I know  it is strange but when you realize the vast cultural diversity that may exist on our planet is when you realize that it's more common than you think. These Thai men like to wear the "simple and clean" style of Mexican gangs, but the funny thing is that none of them commits criminal activities. They are ordinary people who love Mexican gangster fashion and some aspects of daily life from them. Here, we are talking about a perfect example of appropriation of a foreign subculture as there are people who aren't Mexican or gangsters, however took the lifestyle that Mexicans gangsters have  and seized him. At least, talking about clothes. What we can learn about this? Well, looking at these strange subcultures we realize that this world is very diverse and anything that seem very rare you can find in any part of this. We also realize that appropriation of another culture or subculture outside our culture is more normal than it seems. Actually I have nothing against it, I defend the comfort of the person and not their clothing or living, if a Thai feel good wearing and living like a Mexican gangster, then so be it.

Hi visitors. Hope you are well. The reasons for this post are related with my opinion about a video I saw the other day. It's about discrimination against afro people in my country. There is an important aspect that I want to emphasize about the situation of Afro-colombians. The fact is the bad situation of many of them despite the great racial diversity from this country. In Colombia we can see many races and we can get surprised because the large numbre of cultures and subultures that we can find in this little country. But many people can't live with this and try to make life difficult for black persons. Racial diversity in this country is something that we all Colombians should be proud and cause that there should be equality of life for all people in Colombia. Exceptions are not allowed.
