Do you consider this style to be cultural appropriation or not? Share your opinions with us below!
Refinery29 yes and can you please pin me I love your channel
Nah but i can see why others might .
It’s definitely cultural apropiación
I think it's may be ok at time cause they are paying homage to this culture. They are not acting as if they originated it like they do here in the states. It can be a thin line. Certain cultures have been abused so long in the states til now we don't see ii as other celebrating it. Cultures have been abused in the states.
Refinery29 i dont think they are using it “just for fashion” but really appreciate the style
As Mexican, living in the US, I can assure you, we do NOT have a problem with other people emulating and enjoying our culture. I very much admire and am intrigued by the Japanese myself. This whole “Cultural appropriation” is getting out of hand. We have real issues here, like actual racism and hatred toward us. The Japanese celebrating some aspects of Mexican culture is a welcome relief. In fact, if more people celebrated each other’s cultures, in a beautiful exchange, we would probably have a lot less racism, God bless
Exactly!! I feel the same way man. Viva Japon!!
I swear to god Mexicans really don't give a shit about this stuff, but white people do!
Clueless i think it depends on certain people aspects on the whole thing, but, some people might take it to whole new offence. Js
Amen!!!!
Ya I noticed that a majority of Mexican folks don't care for cultural appropriation
As a Hispanic girl, I feel so flattered. I've never really seen people admire the culture this way. It really is refreshing
Are you kidding... Hispanic girls are the ones everywhere... Even here in South Africa... Y'all are admired.
Same!! I feel like it's not seen anywhere but I really feel flattered and as long as they have respect and good intentions, I'm glad they like and use our culture like that.
youre a hypocrite ….im pretty sure if white/european people would do it, you would be bitching all over the place
@@popnaty8685 No a few years back Gwen Stefani copied the style for a while. No one got offended. Some of the white girls in my highschool also dressed like that back in the 90s when it was more popular and there was no problem.
@@popnaty8685 I doubt we would i mean taco bell is still up and running right lol
Yo I'm Mexican and I'm not offended, I'm flattered. I want to go hang out with my Japanese Mexicans 😂
But when whites do it all hell breaks loose
Same lol
Vesastrul you can tell who are genuine and who is pretending with intent to make fun
Texas Made Born N Raised Pura raza but I didn’t know I have family in Japan 🇯🇵 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Vesastrul shut up you in everybody’s comment saying the same thing .
As a mexican this makes me kinda cry because I never really saw this much of people that works to understand and love to our culture in such admiration way instead of fear and judgement WORK IT MI AMIGAS/AMIGOS 🖤🤘🏼💀
You must not be from New Mexico then lol.
@@fireheartis1 nope~😂
@@kokopuff5836 Here in New Mexico most of the people love and respect the Chicano culture.
This is Chicano culture no Mexican culture
Pinche Loca, actually means more like "Crazy dumb btch" LOL is like Mexican hill Billy language...like, trash, ghetto. I was raised in mex so yeah lol.
I'm Mexican and when they showed the huge Mexican flag and the Aztec calendar hung in Ayaka's house I felt really flattered,, honestly from what I've seen us Latin Americans are pretty supportive of people liking our culture and I think that's great :'))
No
@@Spubsowo that "no" doesn't change anything about this person comment or feeling so...
@@Spubsowo your the only one
I mean if you wanna be Mexican well take you. Lol
@@khris_goodman i mean it ain’t a raise but a country so..
Just notice how none of us (Latinos/Chicanos) are offended by this... actually for my point of view I feel so happy to see that someone enjoys and admires our culture
honestly it's nice seeing your culture being appreciated for once , really cultural appropriation is really only in the western world mainly the US, i remember when white people would visit my country nobody got offended if they wanted to do or wear something that was cultural actually we encouraged them to try it but here in the US people are just so...ugh and i get it the whole point of cultural appropriation but they really have to learn how to distinguish it from cultural appreciation
only chicanos should be offended, not all latinos..
@Mariana Aguilar Pantoja there it says (chicanos/latinos)
@@justsomegirlwithoutboobs6398 chicanos it's only for all that mexican descent born in the usa, read more please.
@@Nara-tm5xz yes. As long as someone is not judgemental or condescending towards other cultures, as long as they are open to learn and participate in other culture, they are not appropriating.
The only people I see who appropriate, is white people who copies other culture yet being close minded of the people or over romantisizes their struggle. That's disgusting.
White people, please stop policing other people and get some culture of your own.
Mexican American here, and this makes me feel so happy. I can tell they really appreciate the culture. Love this
😁
But when white people do it all hell breaks loose
Like your comment :)
Marry me mujer :)
@@doomguy8324 fuck u
As a Chicano myself this actually suprised me and it’s awesome we don’t get much love so this puts a smile on my face
Pinche Loca, actually means more like "Crazy dumb btch" LOL is like Mexican hill Billy language...like, trash, ghetto. I was raised in mex so yeah lol.
they are Chicano weebs and u are a japanese weeb, it fits.
@@davidjd123👏🏻
I get why people can find this offensive but they arent claiming it as their own. they're in love with the culture and acknowledge where it came from and just want to learn as much as they can about it. some yall a little to sensitive
But there’s a fine line between culture appreciation and cultural appropriation.
I'm mexican and I'm flattered they're appreciating our culture 💖
honey 09 im chicano! And I dont find it offending! I actually feel appreciated!
Thisisit chief but do u really know where it is
Just the host is the offended, Mexican here, 0 fuck given
I am Mexican and honestly I’m honored that these people are finding their confidence in our culture. This is awesome!
Aztec Warrior shut up
@TheCashistrash and where do you think it comes from?
as a chicana, i feel kind of special because there is people who really appreciate our culture and stuff.
if you're chicana sure. not all Latinas.
SAMEEEEEEEEE
thats not appreciating. thats appropiating
Hi, I'm curious though. At what point would it perhaps be offensive?
Cheers.
@Snow Nova
I hate when Mexicans call themselves “Hispanic/Latinos”
That’s a tag gringos put on us
Mexican culture is the largest of all the Americas but some people don’t get it and diminish our culture by using those terms.
As a chicano I 1000% am happy and honored they love and respect my culture. And to be fair Mexico and a ton of Latin America loves Japan and it's culture. 🇲🇽🇯🇵🌮🍙
The video isn't about latin America, why mention it?
@@lykndeltoro2269porque chicano es de EEUU sur/México norte, méxicanos son latinos
@@aspengreen4319 el video es de Mexico Americanos no latinos. Los Mexicanos somos latinos pero no todos los latinos son Mexicanos para que mencionar latinos?
Me being a Mexican-american, They dress more Chicano than me lol
Isabella Sotelo yup
Me too lol
ROLF THEY MORE MEXICAN THAN ME RT
Honestly
same
Who's offended? As a Chicano, this is really awesome! I enjoy and respect Japanese culture as well. So I wanna have a carne asada with them 🇲🇽🇯🇵
💯👍
Rafa Javier facts
ikr. It feels like this channel is purposely trying to sow discord, the host gives me the vibe that she wants us to think 'This is wrong', "Are you offended, are you offended??" or something, the way she presents her videos does not feel neutral at all. As a Tribal, if other people want to wear the color and stripes of my people, honestly I would feel flattered because it usually means they think it's cool.
Americans projecting at it's finest.
Haha I jus had sushi w a corona
O unos tacos de lengua🤤🤤🤤
I remember growing up, I was always told not to dress like this because it would give me a bad rep or push me into a stereotype in which everyone would expect me to become a teen mom with multiple baby daddy’s. The fact that they’re actually just appreciating the style and the representation of strength makes me happy that they don’t see it the way I did when I was younger. The guy in the car shop even said he has RESPECT for the guys here in the states who do his kind of work is really refreshing
Thank you, this is exactly what I had seen growing up and I wanted no part of it so I dressed differently. Seeing their perspective of the same people is refreshing because I've always associated that attire with a bad lifestyle.
The difference between them and our Raza was that our people were living a lifestyle that didn't just come with the fashion but also with a lot of negativity. This wasn't a fashion but a way of life. And part of that life involved a lot of killings including innocent people from people who represented barrios who dressed like this. So while it may just be a style to dress like Raza in Japan our people lived that lifestyle and this just happened to be what our Raza wore. So it's no surprise that you were stereotyped because many low lives who ended up in jail, dead, killed innocent people and who didn't amount to sh*t in life dressed like this too !!
That being said, I just want to make it clear for any peasants on here who don't know that this right here ( gang banging, which we call tirando barrio in Spanish ) was originally a way of our people uniting back in the 20's, 30's, 40's, and coming together to protect each other against the white majority who used to take advantage of our Raza, discriminate, and beat them. Which is where us Mexicans born in the States from illegal and farm working Mexicans eventually became to be known as Chicanos. Local Los Angeles neighborhoods and the Pachucos from ( later known as zoot suiters in Los Angeles ) Chuco Town in Texas were the ones who formed these barrios ( neighborhoods ) to protect each other.
All of this dragged into the 70's and 80's where eventually the drug trade started growing and eventually this style of dressing came about and became known worldwide through the 90's where eventually it also started changing over time and now it's obsolete here in LA. It's now a part of the people who lived through these eras and now can be seen as a retro movement to dress like this since people who still bang out here don't dress like this anymore.
This isn't cultural appropriation either for those sensitive Raza nowadays acting like black people who think that everything is being stolen from them 😀. The example I like to give is that many people out here Los Angeles have been wearing for the last ten years Italian designer clothing. Does that make any of those people " culture vultures " or appropriating Italian culture ?? Nah !!! Japanese are not changing the name of this style nor are they claiming this to be originated by Japanese. So fuck all you peasants with poor minds on your period.
Mexican/Chicano pride Ese 🇲🇽
Your hot
@@MacMac1313 And that is the difference between appropriation and appreciation. The people and the Culture are being respected. Its appropriation when you are taking from some other Cultural and disrespecting the people who originated it, lying and saying you invented parts of the Culture when you didnt, falsely representing the Cultural, etc. Like when the Kardashians supposedly "invented boxer braids" which they didn't invent and that's not even what the style is originally called. That's disrespectful and appropriation.
@@TheIsPurple
" Boxer braids " are self explanatory. Many people other than blacks have worn braids for centuries. Native Americans as well as the French. Which is where you will see many Mexicans till this day wearing them. I'm aware that people like Kim Kardashian have popularized many things that have been around for decades and longer but the only reason why she has been able to do that is because dumb ass women who watched her show try to emulate her and everything that she and her family do. For example, I remember back in 2012 - 2013 Kim Kardashian began doing her hair in a bun up high. Not long after that I went to lounge to celebrate one of my boys birthday and many women had their hair up high in a bun like Kim that night 😁. Lo and behold, women of all backgrounds started doing their buns up high like that out here in Los Angeles for awhile. Still do here and there as a matter of fact. But it was Kim Kardashian whom they were emulating after they saw her doing her hair like that.
Women can't see other women as popular as Kim Kardashian doing something without imitating. Just like Kim having a big ass was nothing new either.
Blacks weren't the only ones to do it first either if we're talking on camera. Thick and voluptuous women were popular amongst Mexicans by at least 20-30 years before it became popular in the States amongst blacks and so called Hispanics out here.
Don't believe me ??? Just look up Lina Santos ( Mexican Marylin Monroe ) on UA-cam and you can all thank me later.
As a Chicano I don’t see an issue with this, es mas me da gusto ver nuestro cultura apreciado todos lados. We consider this a blessing to my concern
Pinche Loca, actually means more like "Crazy dumb btch" LOL is like Mexican hill Billy language...like, trash, ghetto. I was raised in mex so yeah lol.
Kinda like the Irish on saint Patrick day
This girl needs a therapist
We took their anime and fashion
They took our cars and style.
Everything is balanced.
Reverse Weabooism
Daniel Marin
Go Nagai was the first Japanese to introduce reverse weabooism to the NHK (Japanese Mainstream) with his work Mazinger Z and Devilman; and then followed by Buruson and Tetsuo Hara, the creators of Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star).
With that it’s manga holy trinity which is heavily hardcore and westernized:
The father- Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star)
The son - Hirohiko Araki’s Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
The holy spirit - Kentaro Muira’s Berserk
Don t forget their sushi and tuner cars :-) Why not they enjoy a lowrider as much as we enjoy a 2jz twinturbo supra going sideways burning rubber.that should serve as an inspiration cause if people looked up to each other wars wouldn t exist
No one "took" it. We simply enjoy it 🤓
Sentirion Beats
Anime isn’t a cultural but a comercial thing
“That’s like saying the world took Coca-Cola from the US culture”
and fashion? Unless you dress like a traditional old Japan then you’re taking their cultural traits
The stuff you say we “take” isn’t cultural appropiation but appreciation
we just enjoy it because it’s a way of expanding Japanese marketing not their actual culture
they’re not chicanos but they love our culture and are interested in our history. respect ✊🏼
LowLife 2SiCc just because they have the same skin color that means nothing asians and mexican can have light or dark skin. but i see your point
@Buk Keo How do you feel like you're a Mexican-?
@Buk Keo Oh yeah thats cool, so they are connected. But im saying like how do you feel mexican? I feel that's like if a caucasian person said they feel Caribbean if yk what i mean?
They probably are part of our history..
That's cool as long as they don't treat it as a costume. Wearing that prison uniform as an outfit isn't something you would see real Chicanos doing in the street.
"Maybe this is what the future looks like: A world where culture isn't only where you come from, but also where you fit in".
That brought a tear to my eye. @markowhisper
I like that :) A beautiful thought.
Bravo 👏🏻 respect
Yes this is and will be. Anyone against is, doesn't yet get how great this is. For the entire world.
Yeah
As a Mexican in the US I also assure you we have no problem with Japan people loving our culture! We also love Japanese people! ♥️
The thing about Mexicans is we don’t offend easily... this is legit flattering.
Eso de las "ofensas" ahorita lo traen en chinga los gringos... Ahora salen con esto de la apropiación cultural... 100 años después, pero no'más por que les chirrió la víbora de abajo.
Really though I think it’s very flattering.
It is to most people around the globe.
It makes me so proud of our culture 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Preach
There is a saying in Mexico, “ Mexican is a feeling “ don’t have to be born in Mexico to be a Mexican you just have to feel it , respect it and live it . Mexicans, chicanos are not offended when other cultures embrace it as long as there is respect and love towards it .
@adrianna lol japanese people are completely opposite. They call people foreigners if they were born there but have European/African/non japanese parents
adrianna either way bring something else your not is not a state of mind. I can’t like the Scottish culture and therefore I am Scottish. Doesn’t with that way.
I disagree, Mexicans born in the usa are mexican only when is convenient to them.
@@cesarramirez7619 why do you say that
"Dont even" was not supposed to be there
I love how literally no latino is offended. Everyones like yeah man you like our culture bro, thats cool we'll share it. We like anime and sushi so were cool😅💀💀
Ok just know this edit is late but let me make something clear when i say "no latino is offended i dont mean every single mofo out there i mean the ones in this vids comments. I know we dont all think alike so if you dont agree then my comment is not for u, dont come after me with some mean ass bs when i was just trying to make a light hearted joke, i saw no hate in the comments and thats rare thought it was a good thing, my bad.
ザ Zeek 根暗,

I was happy to see this too. I think it shows more pride and confidence in your culture to share it freely & see it as a compliment.
@@miriamrobarts ikr. Exactly. And some of these people seemed like they did some research. As long as there not racist and respect the culture im cool with it.
@ザ Zeek 根暗 I'm white, and I agree that it's ridiculous to get offended about "appropriation"-especially when it's not even your own culture! It's nice when people can appreciate each others' cultures and be friendly to each other.
Mmmm im just waiting for someone to mix tamales with sushi other than that I feel quite proud.
As a Mexican American, I don’t see this a cultural appropriation! There’s respect, there’s love, they’re not just dressing up like chicanas because they like the aesthetic, they feel like themselves when they do! I honestly love sharing my culture! Like what Mona said, I feel proud, I feel happy, when people of other cultures, embrace and respect mine!
I’m Mexican American or “Chicano”
These women are emulating MY culture.
And I love it. It’s beautiful to see people from different cultures to find love in mine especially when so many people in our own community hate on themselves and their own culture. It’s honestly really cool to see this video! Thank you for shining light on it.
As a Chicano from LA myself. It’s all love Mona 🔥 love what you’re doing, fuck the haters 💯
You're from in the limbo, you're not Mexican and or American, Chicano is just a word you idiots pulled out of the blues. I laughed all day cause of you..... Messcans.
A Chicano ninja? lol
@@GUIMOZIRI , idiot.
dressing like whores and gangsters is not "mexican-american culture". just like being mobsters is not "italian culture" and being yakuza is not "japanese culture"...people like you represent mexican-americans about as well as the morons from jersey shore represent italian-americans!

Jazmín González I agree she like are Mexican people 🔥🔥
Jazmín González thank you for being part of the “I’m not offended by everything” group. There are so many things I could get pissy about and don’t because I am happy others want to celebrate the things my ancestors did.
The only thing I hated was the prison suit. That is not supporting a culture in any way.
@KRISTEL GONZALEZ-SERNA si vas a exigir que hablen español por lo menos escríbelo bien tú misma. Así como juzgas a gente que no conoces así te juzgarán
Jazmín González tu no eres chicano, callate la boca
As a Mexican-American girl, I don’t find this disrespectful since I love traditional Japanese clothing and the culture.
I can agree with you, whole heartedly.
I find it offensive af
aidou97 just a question: what’s offensive about it?
Same
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
as a chicana from Cali ( grew up between LA and SD, born and raised by my fam in boyle heights) I have always been flattered by the Japanese “cholas” i love that they admire us as people and artist and i am suuuper intrigued in their sub-culture of our culture lol not once have i ever been offended and don’t know anyone who would be. You guys should’ve sent a real chicana along for a real perspective on how we feel about them.
She’s not cultural appropriating , more of cultural appreciating and i love that
Genesis Enriquez you literally only say that cause she is japanase 😂😂 if they were white nothing would happen
Tommy Shelby what are you talking about ? 💀
Genesis Enriquez I meant that you “love it” only because they are asian, if they were white all of you hypocrites would furious
Tommy Shelby stop trying to victimize white people lmaoo.

This isn’t about “Latinos”
It’s about CHOLO subculture which doesn’t necessarily mean Chicano
Amuro Ray
Cholo is a street subculture
Chicano is a name given to descendants of Mexicans born in the US
American citizen influenced by Mexican culture, but not a real Mexican citizen
@@19ars92 You fucking idiot. You literally just said "descendants of mexicans born in the U.S" which means people whose parents are Mexican but they were born/raised in the U.S that's a chicano not just "influenced by mexican culture" and the style is not about gangsters dumbass this is the Chicano style period
I'm so relieved to hear this... I feel the same but obviously being white it's like I don't get to comment. But I appreciate how it is celebrated here, WAY unlike in America where if someone dresses like this they have a hard time getting jobs, people generally look down on them, etc.
La Tequilera yea the lady has a PHD to find stuff to be offended about.
There’s something special about seeing both sides of my family’s cultures blended like this. I’m Mexican and Japanese born is America. The racism in America to both my family’s cultures is horrific, but seeing the two of them come together is such a fun and beautiful way is so amazing. It warms my heart and makes me smile. 💕

Libtards in the US get offended by everything.
Yeah, but imagine they treated them like crap while stealing their "culture"!
For real tho. I like Mexican culture so I use inspiration from that culture for my room and clothes and I have a bunch of white people telling me it’s cultural appropriation an Mexican AMERICANS telling me that I am trying to be them, but Mexicans that actually live in Mexico don’t give a centavo
@@cool_kid103 BITCH 🤣 Why tf are you treating Mexican Americans as if they have no say to decide wether it is cultural appropriation or not?? They can decide wether it is and you're gonna listen because THEY'RE STILL MEXICAN. JUST CUZ THE MEXICANS FROM MEXICO say they dont care doesnt make it ok for you steal their culture. I'm mexican american and no you cant fuckin take our shit. U ain't mexican sweetie, so stop trying to be us. Dont take something that isn't yours and claim it for the looks. Its disrespectful
@@cool_kid103 U know how stupid u sound right now? Saying mexican americans words shouldn't be taken seriously when its STILL THEIR CULTURE. They have the right to be offended or not and ur dumbass is basically invalidating their rights not giving a fuck about what they say just because they're AMERICAN like bitch no.
“Maybe a culture isn’t just where you come from, but also where you fit in.”
This hit me. It’s so true
Edit: I didn’t think I was going to get this many likes omg😂
Evelyn Avalos has me like dammmmmmmmmn
I agree 100% on that
I disagree
YES💯
All the weebs be cryin when they see this
People dressing up as some other group for laughs such as Halloween costumes are offensive. But these people are dressing up as chicanas (and chicanos) out of respect. Even if the prison outfit was offensive, the overall thing going on isn’t offensive. It’s respect. Source: I am Chicano
Pinche Loca, actually means more like "Crazy dumb btch" LOL is like Mexican hill Billy language...like, trash, ghetto. I was raised in mex so yeah lol.
Chicano is a movement/Identity, chola is a style, there is a difference. She’s dressing up as a chola, you can’t “dress Chicano”
@@theoddest1993 Chola is part of the Chicano community. And yes, you can dress as 'Chicano' just like you one can dress as African. Within each identify there are subcultures.
Also as a Mexicana i agree.
@@FantasmaJestera Intent is the key. It's same as a joke when someone makes a joke that is edgy and can be seen as offensive or just a joke. If it appears it's meant to be offensive and targeted, then it's bad. A good example of a possible offensive joke that often isn't is Family Guy. Some of their jokes taken out of context would look very offensive. But within the context, you see they are making fun of everyone and the person being depicted isn't necessarily the joke but it's how characters often react to them that is partially the joke.
As a Japanese woman with a Mexican boyfriend, this is so cute

exactly !! and i love it i'm japanese mi casa, su casa !!
Im a Mexican American who loves Japanese culture and seeing people from japan appreciate my culture is truly amazing like this is the future where we can all share each other stories and learn from each other!!!
as a latina, I think this is awesome! they're not disrespectful at all!. also as someone deeply infatuated with Japanese culture I love this- I embrace you, you embrace me!
I love your response! It is so true and I agree!
@Bruce Leroy Osaka people are more expressive and straight-forward so foreigners might like it better.
Tokyo`s amenities are world class though but people are too busy sometimes.
RESPECT IS EARNED IF THEY WEAR IT IN ANY WAY ITS NOT APPROPRIATION IT'S CULTURAL EXCHANGE. IF YOU ONLY LOOK AT PEOPLE THROUGH THE LENS OF RACE YOU ARE A RACIST
im just gonna say, latinas are so pretty wow
Is it embracing though if they have a prison costume to go with the "culture of it"? It is disrespectful if they have decorations like the Virgen De Guadalupe in a car though ... maybe some of them actually appreciate it but the ones in the video are appropriating
As a Latina this doesn’t bother me at all. It’s actually very cool how they enjoy and admire the Mexican culture so much💗
DaSavage Cat2 even if they’re white?
Itsy bitsy Spidy black, white, Asian,etc. It doesn’t bother me :)
Itsy bitsy Spidy what do you mean with “even if they are white”??
Tina Severinovna Me she did address that it was a costume, but if she wore it just to wear it as an everyday piece of clothing then I don’t know how to feel about that. It’s a stereotype.
Grecia Soto white people would be called racist if they did it 😂 I only asked cus I was curious lol, no meaning behind it
bc they acknowledge that it's from chicano culture and not claiming it as their own, something they came up with, or watering it down I wouldn't regard it as appropriation but appreciation
Excellent point. When cornrows were "invented" with Bo Derek, that's a problem. This is respect and on point.
I have to agree to this. They don't say. "Boxer braids or Katy Perry or KimK braids etc etc etc"

The video is about Mexican americans/chicanos not latinos. Not all latinos are Mexicans only Mexicans can be chicanos.
Wow! As a Mexican American I think this is cultural APPRECIATION and I’m happy they have love for Chicano style, food & lowriders. If it makes them feel happy I’m all for it. They are all invited to my families Carne Asada. Keep being you ladies!

That's a perfect way of putting it
@@sophii7906 thank you. as crappy as life seems in this day and age, cross cultural sharing and appreciation is a nice thing. wouldnt you agree?
@@pbc_03 I agree as well. I do think it's cool that others find a culture fascinating and want to express their love for it. I do think that there are people who take it to the extreme like Koreaboos and Weeaboos where they neglect their actual race to be someone they aren't. I can tell that these people aren't trying to do that. They are expressing that by dressing like Chicanas, they feel strong and independent like their role models they saw in movies
honestly, cosplay is just plain cringy, doesn't matter if ur asian or not, its just cringy.
Good point
This is very touching and makes me feel more proud of my culture as a Mexican American Latina in California.... watching this reminds me how blessed i am to be a Mexican American latina. I am happy they can find happiness in our culture and especially in a place like japan where most of our culture is not normally seen.
Because it’s Japanese people who are doing it. If it was a white person or even worse, an Indian person doing it you’d be so offended.
As a Mexican who loves Japanese culture im flattered. Not offended at all love from us.
Hi, I'm curious though. At what point would it perhaps be offensive?
Cheers.
@@claudiarios2440 That's a solid insight. Especially about the hypocrisy of those who co-opt aspects of culture while crapping on the actual people.

@@Slyguy96 "i'm sure" you say. Based on what? HOW sure? It seems as though you are the one importing the idea of someone being attractive into this thread. Somewhat like a red herring. Curious as to why?

Us chicanos and Mexican Americans rarely feel love outside of our own culture, even here in the U.S. So to see people on the other side of the world showing love and showing out makes us proud, not offended.
I’ve always been deeply fascinated and in love with Chicano and Mexican culture as a white American and I think they are so cool! I was always afraid people would accuse me of cultural appropriation but Mexicans are the most welcoming people I swear, the only ppl I’ve had accuse me of “appropriation” are other white girls lol

@Charles Huang I wouldn't say they have too many. They have the same rights as you do. Are the rights you have also too many? You're just intimidated and uncomfortable tvhat women have the exact same rights as you.
@Ah Dindu Nuffin Wow. Way to be extremely racist in one comment. Oh well, we all have our own opinions. Also, coming from a half-White and half-Asian person, I have experienced both Asian and American culture first hand. Asian culture is very strict, clean, traditional. You're not encouraged to be yourself. You're expected to mirror those around you and become successful. I love American culture because it is the exact opposite. You can be yourself and there is so much more diversity. It truly is a melting pot here. I have Asian, Black, Hispanic, White, and Native American friends. Everyone is happy and free and can do as they please. Some people don't want to go to college while others do want to go to college and make lots of money. I love it here because there's so much cultural diversity and there is never a dull moment. I'm not hating on Japanese culture, but I do have sympathy for those that grew up there, especially the women. There's a lot of pressure on everyone over there.
@Charles Huang And they say women are dramatic, look at yourself

Part of cultural appropriation is taking another culture’s style and claiming it as their own. They aren’t doing that. And it seems as tho they try to do their research and accurately portray the chicano culture.

Thank you for making and posting this video! I’m so touched 😭 idk what is it exactly in words I just burst into tears seeing them girls. I’m Asian too and I can relate to these girls, sometimes there’s a part of us that we just want to be different and rebel to what considered as the norm in our surroundings. It’s more like we can get in touch with a part of our self that we don’t often shows in daily life through what ever it is that works (other culture etc). Because I believe apart from our physical reality (the skin color, race, gender, etc), we’re just a multidimensional vibrational being! so let’s just unite. Only the ego that seeks judgement and separation.
Love the comeback with the chopsticks too 😂 lol
These girls they’re really cool🔥🔥🔥! So inspiring 💕💕💕
"Americans use chopsticks and eat sushi..." lol. Can't fault that logic.
Michael Dobson and we appropriate Native, Black, And Hispanic culture. Meanwhile we sit by and do nothing while Latino children are dragged from their parents and housed in camps. Steal Black hairstyles, fashion and music, claim they invented it. And say why don’t all those Black people who are murdered by police just do what the cops say to do? We eat Asian food and then hate on Asians for taking our Tech jobs instead of the corporations who deny them to us. We romanticize Native Americans even though Native women are being murdered in this country at an astounding rate . Just follow the oil company “Man Camps” to see the new ‘Trail of Tears’. But whites pay $1000s for other whites to teach them “Native Spirituality “.
They also put Asian writting characters as tattoos
@rebel 777 hispanic literally includes south, central and north (mexico) american spanish speaking countries, which are also latino countries. Spain is hispanic but not latino, and countries like Brazil are latino but not hispanic.

What if a white person did this? How would you feel?
Outpat depends why how etc if they just get something tatted like it all depends you also got to remember Asia is a different place they give a lot less about oh I am copying a culture like it’s a lot different there is like being mad at a old person for being set in there ways
@Outpat you are asking this same question on every other person's post that is expressing unity and appreciation. Allow me to expand your thoughts a little - It seems like your question isn't coming from genuine curiosity to know how a mexican american would feel if a white person did this, but rather a subversive/jealous way of saying "you and people from other cultures are hypocrites, why can't white people do this" - which 1) Is absolutely ridiculous and shows you're still oblivious to both history and present day situations and humanity, and 2) Exactly proves the issue - majority "white" (white meaning a certain kind of ideology or 'culture' that exist in the majority of mainstream ethnically anglo-saxon/white, w/e, communities) seem to have a hard time listening and always try to flip everything to be about themselves at the end of the day. Just like the intention of your question.
This isn't about you. Think about it - white people have and continue to this day to systemically label mexican americans (and pm every other culture in some way) as ghetto, dirty, illegal, etc., while continuing to enjoy mexican food (or some derivation of it), wear sombreros, giant mustaches, prison uniforms as jokes on cinco de Mayo, take spring breaks to and trash Cancun - this is cultural appropriation. DON'T try to tell me these occurrences aren't true. When at the core of 'whiteness' there is 0 respect for the beauty and humanity in another culture and people, and no desire empower the source but then want to pass all the good stuff off as OK when you do it and enjoy/take credit, then let me be clear: No, it's not alright for a white person to do this. Not until the core credit, understanding, and love is there - and not only when it's convenient. The japanese people in this video have researched and embraced chicanx culture closely, and give a nod to it's roots - you see the Mexican flag hanging in one of their homes and another vocalizing his respect for chicanxs. They are also people of color (that have also been discriminated against in mainstream white society), who seem to more easily understand connection in humanity and richness in culture.
I can hear you saying, "but not all white people...", which ok, yes, not every single white person is fully in line with the socially engineered falsehood of white supremacy. But the truth is that it's currently still deeply rooted in their mainstream culture and across a majority of the population, and you need to be conscious of that fact if you want to truly link up with your world family. You're welcome to all cultures, we're the human race. But if you truly want to "see" another, bring your respect and also understand the bullshit they fight, yeah?
I would literally wonder how ghetto the area of LA she was from was. Also Eminem is a white rapper who dressed like he was from the ghetto because, you know, he was.
lain iwakura yeah it just depends on the white person etc how they act and bunch of other things
