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.
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
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.
@@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.
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 🖤🤘🏼💀
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 :'))
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
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.
@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.
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
@@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.
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.
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. 🇲🇽🇯🇵🌮🍙
@@aspengreen4319 el video es de Mexico Americanos no latinos. Los Mexicanos somos latinos pero no todos los latinos son Mexicanos para que mencionar latinos?

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.

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
@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?
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.
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!
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 🇲🇽
@@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 TH-cam and you can all thank me later.
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.
You must be really starved for love if you appreciate this trash. This is not love. Don't pretend her prison costume is divorced from the rest of the shit she's doing
@@claudiarios2440 That's a solid insight. Especially about the hypocrisy of those who co-opt aspects of culture while crapping on the actual people. Thanks. All the best.
@@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?
@@ntr10me I'm not concerned with her looks. I care more about the fact she is trying to be something she is not. She is Japanese not Hispanic. be happy with who you are. And i was just pointing out that she gets acceptance on this behavior because she is young and cute. People tend to kiss up to the more attractive.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
@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
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
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. 💕
They love our culture. They have our flag. They celebrate with us. They respect. Its not culture appropriation at all. THEY ARE DOING THINGS RIGHT TO BRING LIFE TO OUR CULTURE EVEN IN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
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!!!
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
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
@@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
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

@@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.
@@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.
I'm Hispanic and I've studied Chinese and Japanese martial arts and as artist I've mimicked anime art for years. I have always loved different cultures. I believe as long as we respect others and not do it to make fun of others its fine. They said that love and respect what they like about our culture so Its cool.
what u r describing has absolutely NOTHING to do with the idea of negative "cultural appropriation" which is not some 1 off 1 dimensional 'catch all' concept. YOU r describing appreciation of ASPECTS of a 'foreign culture'.
I’ve known about this specific community since I was 16/17 I am now 23. I am Mexican American and I honestly love to see this. Like someone else said, If they find their confidence in my culture, I am happy.
@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.
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.
This make's me proud because us as mexican's have gone through a lot to get to this point where everyone repects and admires our culture. This was interesting.
Chicanos are American not Mexican they have Mexican descent and acestry but they aren't Mexican thr entire point is your to white for mexico and too brown for USA YOUR STUCK IN THE MIDDLE!
@@sypersonified 😂😂😂shows how un educated you are it's a nationality not a ethnicity.....your of spanish origin so latino or Hispanic You mean you have ancestry from Puerto Rico and mexico then your latino or Hispanic or just Spanish
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
If they gonna immulate..... get that shit right! Don’t half ass about it... that’s when you screw up something that wasn’t broken in the first place!#YA’DIG!!😎
As a Mexicano with strong Chicano roots, this is very flattering, especially coming from people with such a rich and complex culture as the Japanese. Bienvenidos mis hermanos, son chingones ese!
@@Kitty_bandida22 Outside these few influencers of the movement, I'm sure there many other you Japanese people sporting these styles just because they think its cool. Not that I think anything is wrong with that either. I doubt many Chicanos themselves know the history of what they are wearing. But do they really need to?
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

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.
I am Mexican-American, and I am NOT offended at all, I’m actually very excited to see that in such as far away country, women like our culture, and makes me value it more. They don’t use the “stereotypes” in a way to offend anyone, but to show admiration and connection to the culture, thanks for the video
Why send her in. She’s offended. I’m Latina. Chicana and I love this. The way they embrace our things is amazing. They love it, they honor us and respect us. They ain’t doing nun wrong.
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.
@@kumokundomo9705 it was a part of her chicana closet, so unfortunately she had the costume because the media portrays the latinx community as criminals, drug addicts & alcoholics
To be fair, sounds like as soon the presenter said it wasn't good to have the costume, she seemed very sorry and hopefully doesn't wear ir. all we can ask for is everyone to learn,
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 💕💕💕
You can't fix stupid. There is a DIFFERENCE between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. These people ARE IN NO WAY making fun of the Chicano culture. They LOVE it!
@benjamin ollis at least they feel okay with it. Of course not the WHOLE population is going to feel okay with it like a lot of cultural stuffs being used in other cultures. And them at least can give permission to this since they’re part of the culture. You sound like you’re invalidating their opinion
Much love to them, glad to see people enjoy the culture and admire. Unfortunately for us Mexicans in California if we dress like that we may get shot at so sucks to no longer see much repping of the style. I hope this group can carry on the legacy happily and one day come here and are easily welcomed by the community!
“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😂

as a mexican-american, this is very flattering. you dont always see cultures outside of the US embrace mexican culture so this is nice and refreshing. also, i dont feel like they're being disrespectful in anyway
There's a difference in cultural appropriation and admiring a certain style. I honestly think this girl means no harm. She just needs to do more background research as opposed to only learning from movies.
I think the majority of people who culturally appropriate don't mean harm, the thing that triggers people is the fact that they wish to remain ignorant as to why they may be offending someone.
Im mexican and I love that they are enjoying our culture. Mexicans enjoy Japanese culture a lot as well since anime is pretty big in México. What I didnt like was that the host is not Mexican nor even hispanic and she was saying that it was ok for Japanese people to appreciate my culture. I say this because she can't really say if it's appropriate or not since she isn't Mexican nor hispanic. Another thing is that it would have been way more fun if they had sent a real chicana or chicano
Jajaja me encantó su camisa que dice "cabrona" la verdad no me molesta como mexicana, al contrario se me hace genial el gesto y la actitud les da más fuerza y confianza a estas chicas japonesas, que en su cultura normalmente son muy tímidas y sumisas.

@Vero E “Chicano” is the word used by Americans of Mexican descent to describe themselves. It originated from Mexican Spanish by shortening and altering the word “Mexicano.”

@@sabin97 That's a good point. I guess there's no real objective standard for when something really crosses a line. so I wonder, what would be seen as offensive in this situation to someone of Latin American heritage.
@@ntr10me Always there is culture exchange when people of different cultures interact together (more in this technological age). I believe that the people that like to accused others of cultural appropriation basically are promoting cultural secregation. Nothing is offensive if is done with respect.
I absolutely LOVE this as a Chicana from LA! Yes they are taking/using aspects of my culture, but I know hella Mexicans who are fascinated with and use aspects of Japanese culture... These ladies are doing it with RESPECT and LOVE. It also makes sense culturally why Japanese women are drawn to Chola/Chicana style - a lot of the same fight against machismo and submissiveness runs in our cultures. They see the strength in Chicana women and get their own strength and feel free from it. And that's a beautiful thing that makes me happy and proud of my culture! If I ever make it out to Japan definitely checking out these spots to support the Japanese Chicanos. They are family in my mind! ♥
As a Mexican American, first generation in the U.S, watching this makes me happy! Just like home girl said, Mexicans do not get offended easily, if anything it’s pretty neat that others outside our culture find it fascinating.
@DJ S If you had done some research, and actually read up on the topic you would realise that only a minority do that. And stereotyping asians(which is a VERY widespread and big race)as "Those who eat cats and dogs" you will offend a lot of people. We are in 2019, i mean come on
@DJ S I talked with a chinese girl and she said they don't eat dogs. A small amount of people do because they belive dogs bring luck but most people don't. They also ban festivals that promote dog eating. I think this is only in china/hong kong and not in every asian country so stop putting stereotypes on asians.
We welcome you honey :3, culture is not an object but i dare say a feeling of union between many voices and it's people if you love it and respect it then you are just as a sister as anyone in my fam
Yo I think we're a little to strict with the idea of cultural appropriation thing. I genuinely think its more helpful than harmful. The part that gets bad is usually when a some large corporation tries to exploit a culture and profit off it's identity with out that money going back into the community that created it. But individuals gettign inspired by other cultures eems nice
Cultural appropriation is good in my opinion because it causes cultural assimilation when done appropriately and correctly, and I agree it seems like a lovely concept imho
"The part that gets bad is usually when a some large corporation tries to exploit a culture and profit off it's identity with out that money going back into the community that created it." 10000000000000% EXACTLY!
Amen!!! There is a DIFFERENCE between taking advantage, exploiting/making fun of... and just Reverance... Respect, I think what these girls and guys are doing is amazing... in their own way they're rebeling against Japans set standards and uniformity!!
It's nice to know that a culture like the Chicano style is still alive, not just in L.A., but in Japan, I want to go there to show my traits as a Veterano, not just a Army Vet, but as a Chicano Movement activist of the 70's.
I disagree with your statement 100%. If you must, look it up..."Cultural appropriation, at times also phrased cultural misappropriation, is the adoption of elements of one culture by members of another culture."
@@Netty925 What is the definition of cultural appreciation? Cultural appreciation is when elements of a culture are used while honoring the source they came from. It is important to note that appreciation involves respect and value. Appropriation would be if they where using it only for like halloween or to mock them. They are neither mocking, making fun of or insinuating that they are the creators of the style they are clearly listing their reasoning as to why they choose to appreciate this type of culture. Some people who wear dreads say that hair is hair and it could be worn as they please without acknowledging or respecting where the style originated from. These people are not only wearing this style on a day to day basis they are educating themselves about every aspect of the culture not altering it or taking it as their own.
Same. I'm fond of anime & find their culture very intriguing since it's very different from Mexican culture. I respect it & try to educate myself as much as I can.
I met a girl who looks like Mona in Osaka! She was a hip hop dancer and we went salsa dancing! Wasn't mad at all but nervous about buying a kimono (or geisha) until I saw how happy it makes the Japanese people!
It’s not cultural appropriation when they give credit to the culture and draw strength from it. It is cultural appropriation when a woman like Kim Kardashian to wear corn rows and call them bo Derek braids.
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

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..

White people, please stop policing other people and get some culture of your own.
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 .

@@davidkamer you're an idiot!
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 TH-cam and you can all thank me later.

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.

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

@@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
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

@@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.
I'm Hispanic and I've studied Chinese and Japanese martial arts and as artist I've mimicked anime art for years. I have always loved different cultures. I believe as long as we respect others and not do it to make fun of others its fine. They said that love and respect what they like about our culture so Its cool.

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

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.

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.
This make's me proud because us as mexican's have gone through a lot to get to this point where everyone repects and admires our culture. This was interesting.

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.

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!

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.

@@kumokundomo9705 it was a part of her chicana closet, so unfortunately she had the costume because the media portrays the latinx community as criminals, drug addicts & alcoholics
To be fair, sounds like as soon the presenter said it wasn't good to have the costume, she seemed very sorry and hopefully doesn't wear ir. all we can ask for is everyone to learn,
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 💕💕💕
i love those last words: "A world where culture isn't only where you come from but also where you fit in"
I kinda wanna get that tattooed
If the Japanese people want to emulate how strong and beautiful Latina women are then let them do it
Strong? She’s making us look like a gang member lmao
Edit: nvm I forgot the title said chicana lol
The beauty and strength of a Mexican woman lies in her femininity
I don’t know if chicanas can be considered as “strong and beautiful latina woman” though 🤔
I hate this culture
W O K E。 W O K E can’t understand u
You can't fix stupid. There is a DIFFERENCE between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. These people ARE IN NO WAY making fun of the Chicano culture. They LOVE it!
@benjamin ollis at least they feel okay with it. Of course not the WHOLE population is going to feel okay with it like a lot of cultural stuffs being used in other cultures. And them at least can give permission to this since they’re part of the culture. You sound like you’re invalidating their opinion
Black people will be very sensitive , if these Japanese were dressing up like them lol
they think our religion and culture is a costume
@benjamin ollis it’s not a costume if it’s every piece of clothing you own. It’s just your wardrobe. Lol
@benjamin ollis Nah as a Mexican I'm completely okay with it.
Much love to them, glad to see people enjoy the culture and admire. Unfortunately for us Mexicans in California if we dress like that we may get shot at so sucks to no longer see much repping of the style. I hope this group can carry on the legacy happily and one day come here and are easily welcomed by the community!
They aren’t claiming it to be their own so I don’t see the problem🤷🏼♀️
that’s always where the problem lies. when people who didn’t invent it start claiming they did THEN it’s appropriation
Thank you! That’s what culture appropriation means! People don’t know the difference
why is the title worded as if sooo many japanese women dress like this? lol. If you looked at japanese fashion its cutesy. instead of strong image
@1234 123 But then again, not all Japanese people wear cutesy in every street. People are more complex than that.

@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, this is very flattering. you dont always see cultures outside of the US embrace mexican culture so this is nice and refreshing. also, i dont feel like they're being disrespectful in anyway
There's a difference in cultural appropriation and admiring a certain style. I honestly think this girl means no harm. She just needs to do more background research as opposed to only learning from movies.
Chanel Pruitt
She’s acting as if is Chicano which is a woman or girl of Mexican origin or descent. She is Asian. She should embrace herself.
If you go onto Mona's instagram she really appreciates mexican culture and learns the traditions.
Japanese people kno how to do cultural appreciation the right way because they hold themselves to respectful standards
a lot of people use things that they admire but still get bashed
I think the majority of people who culturally appropriate don't mean harm, the thing that triggers people is the fact that they wish to remain ignorant as to why they may be offending someone.
Pues Latinos don’t get offended by this. We find it flattering tbh
You Mexican Americans no Latinos 😂😂😂😂
Annika yes I’m Mexican not LATINO
Annika Latin is a Italian,Spaniard,German,French 😂😂😂
Daniel Rojas Spaniards invaded Mexico along time ago so yes they are Latino.
Paris Do you know the real meaning of Latinos is to diminish different countries into one term
Im mexican and I love that they are enjoying our culture. Mexicans enjoy Japanese culture a lot as well since anime is pretty big in México. What I didnt like was that the host is not Mexican nor even hispanic and she was saying that it was ok for Japanese people to appreciate my culture. I say this because she can't really say if it's appropriate or not since she isn't Mexican nor hispanic. Another thing is that it would have been way more fun if they had sent a real chicana or chicano

As a proud Chicano born in LA and living in Mexico. I am not offended, love Japanese culture and glad to see people appreciate us!
@Vero E
“Chicano” is the word used by Americans of Mexican descent to describe themselves. It originated from Mexican Spanish by shortening and altering the word “Mexicano.”
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.
The narrative should be more specific and call it "Chicana Chola" and not just Chicana. Not all of us adopted that lifestyle.
Just out of genuine curiosity: would you be okay with a white person delving into Chicano/Chicana Chola culture?

@@ntr10me
offense is ALWAYS taken, never given.
so it's offensive at the point where you WANT to feel offended.
@@sabin97 That's a good point. I guess there's no real objective standard for when something really crosses a line. so I wonder, what would be seen as offensive in this situation to someone of Latin American heritage.
@@ntr10me Always there is culture exchange when people of different cultures interact together (more in this technological age). I believe that the people that like to accused others of cultural appropriation basically are promoting cultural secregation. Nothing is offensive if is done with respect.
@@PL-up5ig your last sentence especially Rings massively true with me. Well said.
I absolutely LOVE this as a Chicana from LA! Yes they are taking/using aspects of my culture, but I know hella Mexicans who are fascinated with and use aspects of Japanese culture... These ladies are doing it with RESPECT and LOVE. It also makes sense culturally why Japanese women are drawn to Chola/Chicana style - a lot of the same fight against machismo and submissiveness runs in our cultures. They see the strength in Chicana women and get their own strength and feel free from it. And that's a beautiful thing that makes me happy and proud of my culture! If I ever make it out to Japan definitely checking out these spots to support the Japanese Chicanos. They are family in my mind! ♥
Very thoughtful remark - i perceived the same root for this desire. This is an act of emancipation
beautiful... got teary eyed..
Indeed, but the machismo in Japanese culture is not as blatant. Lol. Like Japanese dudes would never shout and whistle at random girls on the street.
As a Mexican American, first generation in the U.S, watching this makes me happy! Just like home girl said, Mexicans do not get offended easily, if anything it’s pretty neat that others outside our culture find it fascinating.
As a Latina this just makes me feel less bad about my obsession with Chinese and Japanese culture myself. This is just epic to me.

DJ S Chill with the racism.
@DJ S If you had done some research, and actually read up on the topic you would realise that only a minority do that. And stereotyping asians(which is a VERY widespread and big race)as "Those who eat cats and dogs" you will offend a lot of people. We are in 2019, i mean come on
thats wat i said lol!!!!
@DJ S I talked with a chinese girl and she said they don't eat dogs. A small amount of people do because they belive dogs bring luck but most people don't. They also ban festivals that promote dog eating. I think this is only in china/hong kong and not in every asian country so stop putting stereotypes on asians.
Yup

Yo I think we're a little to strict with the idea of cultural appropriation thing. I genuinely think its more helpful than harmful. The part that gets bad is usually when a some large corporation tries to exploit a culture and profit off it's identity with out that money going back into the community that created it. But individuals gettign inspired by other cultures eems nice
just imagine a world where everyone was a combination of all cultures. think how rich and vibrant the world would be.
Cultural appropriation is good in my opinion because it causes cultural assimilation when done appropriately and correctly, and I agree it seems like a lovely concept imho
"The part that gets bad is usually when a some large corporation tries to exploit a culture and profit off it's identity with out that money going back into the community that created it." 10000000000000% EXACTLY!
When white people do it it's racist but for anyone else we're too strict
Amen!!! There is a DIFFERENCE between taking advantage, exploiting/making fun of... and just Reverance... Respect, I think what these girls and guys are doing is amazing... in their own way they're rebeling against Japans set standards and uniformity!!
It's nice to know that a culture like the Chicano style is still alive, not just in L.A., but in Japan, I want to go there to show my traits as a Veterano, not just a Army Vet, but as a Chicano Movement activist of the 70's.

FACTS
Wish I seen this comment ! I literally just said almost the same thing ! Spot on !
I disagree with your statement 100%. If you must, look it up..."Cultural appropriation, at times also phrased cultural misappropriation, is the adoption of elements of one culture by members of another culture."
@@Netty925 What is the definition of cultural appreciation?
Cultural appreciation is when elements of a culture are used while honoring the source they came from. It is important to note that appreciation involves respect and value. Appropriation would be if they where using it only for like halloween or to mock them. They are neither mocking, making fun of or insinuating that they are the creators of the style they are clearly listing their reasoning as to why they choose to appreciate this type of culture. Some people who wear dreads say that hair is hair and it could be worn as they please without acknowledging or respecting where the style originated from. These people are not only wearing this style on a day to day basis they are educating themselves about every aspect of the culture not altering it or taking it as their own.
