Bangkok´s 'Mexican' Gangsters. My Opinion.

After reading the textbook segment about "Cultural Appropriation" and watching the video about Bangkok's "Mexican" gangsters I found a perfect example of the case the textbook showed. These "Mexican" gangsters are a subculture, as they have certain traits that differentiate them from other social groups. Not only do they feel that way, but society (more specifically the gangster's families) sees them differently as Mexican styles in Bangkok are not a common scene.

Also, it's important to note that these gangs have adopted this Mexican style in part due to commercial reasons. That is, people adopting styles because they are cool. Or as the textbook says, these styles may be adopted due to "mass culture for commercial purposes".
