In this opportunity, I will talk about the
cultural appropriation from Thai men to Mexican gangster subculture. This is a
clear example of what is a cultural appropriation, because Thai men took
only just a few aspects from Mexican subculture, like the clothes, tattoos and
the way they hang out. However create problems for Thai is not part of the
subculture, they said the like the subculture because the clothes is really
fresh and easy to wear, also they love hip-hop music like the Mexican
subculture.
For me, Thai men who like the Mexican gangster
subculture just took the good things about that, because they don’t do anything
bad as staring fights. On the contrary they mentioned the fact of being in a
brotherhood where everyone feels in confidence. In conclusion cultural appropriation
for me is a very good way to enrich the culture or subculture, but keeping
original features.
