This example of cultural appropriation is so interesting for me because we can observe how a culture take a piece of a totally different culture and they transform it into something that belong to them. In specific this example is so interesting because this people took the clothes and music styles of the Mexican gangsters, a culture that is know as violent and problematic, and they use it in a right way.
"Clothes and looks don't measure anything" this quote said by one of the member of a Thai "gang" fit perfectly in this case because they have to deal with people that thinks they are criminal when first meet them because of their clothes and their phisical aspect, but actually, most of this people are normal, they work in offices, they are teachers, cops, etc., and I think that we should learn to not judge a person for their look, or their clothes, or their skin color, but we should start looking deeper in their personalities.
about this quote "Clothes and looks don`t measure anything" i really think that we should´t have this idea about the people. we can`t discriminate people just because we dont agree with their ways of wearing clothes or acting. We need to see further and not just the exterior.
