@DETROIT2MILWAUKEE : The American Southwest was México until the Mexican American war happened and most of the American territories in the west were ceded to the United States. On the other hand, Illinois and other parts of the Midwest were colonized by the French among others (if memory serves me correctly), and was purchased by the U.S government during the Louisiana purchase.

@DETROIT2MILWAUKEE : I understand what you are saying, but like the old saying goes, the truth hurts. I just find it a little sad and disappointing that such a large disconnect to Mexican cultural roots is so prevalent over there. At the same time, I can see how such a vacuum of cultural unawareness and identity would exist due to the vast historical differences between Illinois and California or the American Southwest for instance.

and out in the midwest mexicans and puerto ricans get along well (well in detroit during cinco de mayo the mexicans rep so the ricans do too and you get your occasional fights over pride) but for the most part there aint no beef here like in cali (mexican dominated area) or new york (puerto rican dominated area) you see alot of mixed couples chicano guy going out with a rican girl or vice versa

dont make us any less mexican or chicano then the raza out in cali...over here its the same shit like in cali chicanos killing chicanos only difference is over there its in sunny cali weather and over here it can be in the cold winter....i mean my grandparents went through the same shit that yours did just in different parts of the country....plus individuals decide how they wnat to dress there aint no set dress code

[DETROIT2MILWAUKEE]

@Lunatic4Bizcas but how a person dresses shouldnt define who they are....i understand a little of what you mean i got familia (cousins) whos dad is from mexico and they barley speak spanish they couldnt tell you who vicente fernandez is but they bump lil wayne non stop (not that there is anything wrong with black rap or music in other genres) but my point is they have no connection to their roots except for their names....on the other hand just because we like to wear jerseys and air force 1s...

@DETROIT2MILWAUKEE : I know that it gets cold up in the midwest, but all I'm saying is that to distinguish themselves from primarily Black and Puerto Rican sets, primarily Mexican clicks should impose a sort of disciplinary code that involves dress. Instead of wearing big puffy professional sports jackets like the mayates and ricans, Mexican sets should wear trench coats, nice scarves and fedora hats for example. Do you catch my drift? Classiness coupled with intimidation+fierceness=respec­t.

@DETROIT2MILWAUKEE : The appearance or being well groomed and properly dressed is what separated the Chicano/Mexican gangs of the Southwest (Not only California) from a typical street thug or riffraff street hoodlums, despite being involved in similar types of activities.

@DETROIT2MILWAUKEE : Even though most youngsters who claim a hood these days do not dress like the cholo gangsters once did, there still are those who remain true to the traditional image that set Mexican American gangs apart. In that day, a cholo would not be a cholo unless his Khaki's (Dickies or Bens) were well ironed. Despite being a bit baggy (not exaggeratedly), they'd wear their pants waist high and either wear a tank top or nicely pressed shirt.

@DETROIT2MILWAUKEE : Even though Mexican American hoods and gang bangers were not mafia in the 70's, 80's and early 90's, they gave the impression of discipline and organization, which gave an impression of respectability. Even though I don't sympathize with criminal activity, I have the utmost respect for the veteranos and the way that they carry themselves even to this day. You will never see a veterano wearing a huge t shirt or sagging pants.
