You are no longer Peter Santenello, you’re now Pedro Santana!
Lmao 🤣
😂😂bruh
Haha.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Some university needs to give this guy an honorary PhD in anthropology. He is doing the real cultural work/research. I learn so much every time I watch
I agree! As a current doctoral candidate of Anthropology I am hooked!
respect to the guy
Uni is trash, no longer the educational meccas they once were. They'd be lucky to have a guy like Peter.
He is putting in the work, no doubt. Also doesn’t hurt to step out of your comfort zone and engage people of color.
It is so heart warming to see ANY PERSON who steps out of their comfort zone to interact respectfully with people who can be radically different than our themselves. My hat is off to you Peter, you are doing this. I am a fan of your now.
I grew up in an agricultural rural town, the population was about 50/50 Hispanic, White. A majority of the Hispanic population was of Mexican heritage. I can say a Mexican friend is a friend for life. They are a passionate and loyal culture.
Latinas are loose
I'm truly amazed at this dudes interviewing abilities. Keeps the conversation moving, knows what to say, makes everyone feel comfortable. It's amazing.
As a black dude, I 100% agree that Mexican folks, know how to love people no matter who they are or where they're from. As long as you are respectful towards them, they will treat you like one of their own
True words bro! Love & respect to your people & others , I left and have a lot friends and familia in the states . Now I living in Mexico , but I got good memories and good times back then . Stay safe & blessings from the Sonoran Desert , Mexico
U must not be from cali.mexicans in l.a. shoot at blacks and ride with white boys in prison.
@BootN Azz I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Raza gives respect to those who respect you. Yeah...we beef it with people who beef with us. If you have no problems with us we don't have any problems with you. Very simple.
@@erv_fedora y'all didn't shoot down little black girl skating, in l.a.?I'm from Cali .....the Mexican Mafia. Don't run with Aryans in pen?
@Cesar Vialpando I was informing a black dude that it won't be wise for him to walk threw east l.a. I'm from Cali. I know.would u advise him to?
I love these women’s humor so much!! “She was MADE in a low rider,” sent me 🤣
I love you so much
@@okashagnosis Simp 🫵
That ladies sense of humor brings people in. The happiness, laughter, and kindness.
EX CHOLA. LOYOLA ❤❤❤🤎❤️🔥😎🫡
How come they're overweight? And they like hopping onto the soul pole, you can tell. Latino men really let their women go
I've been to LA few times, but didn't check out this scene. These people are AMAZING!! Love the vibes, the laughter and the fun. They are like a big family.
I’m Mexican American and I had the pleasure to experience being around my people Chicanos when I went to visit California it was awesome!!!!! ❤🇺🇸🇲🇽
My dude, Thank YOU for asking if that dad was cool with you recording his girls. As a Latina Mama, I can say I’m very protective of my kids and who they talk to. That respect really stood out to me. Wishing you happiness and good health to you and your family 💓
That stood out to me as well, things like that show character. Respect.
I concur completely with you. Well said! 100% A+. The interviewer did a fab job and respected everyone who entered the camera's eye.
Los Ángeles del Infierno y los Bloods planean erradicar el grupo de crimen organizado Komarovskaya y Usvyatsov-Putyrsky para el verano de 2023 eliminando su jerarquía, altos rangos y líderes. Quieren cerrar la ruta de la droga sudamericana hacia Europa, debilitando al Cartel del Golfo, Cartel de La Familia, Cartel de Cali y Cartel de Medellín para luego sacarlos también como los rusos haciendo que la alianza Hells Angels y Bloods sea más influyente y poderosa. en Centro y Sudamérica. Tengo acceso a información de Hells Angels y Bloods de alto rango. Ellos negarán esto hasta que se haga, pero no esperes a que sea demasiado tarde para prevenir lo que viene, tienes que informar a tus líderes. Debes salvar el trabajo de tus antepasados boicoteando y matando a los miembros locales de Hells Angels y Bloods, líderes de capítulos y líderes de alto rango lo antes posible, cuanto más alto sea el rango, mejor, pero un miembro sigue siendo un miembro. Es hora, mañana puede ser demasiado tarde. Creen que sus objetivos no se darán cuenta y evitarán su caída antes de que sea demasiado tarde, pero desafortunadamente la información salió a la luz. ¡Haz tu parte para que esto no suceda, demuestra tu valía! ¡Por el arduo trabajo y los sacrificios de los ancestros y por el futuro de los niños!
Yeah so cool, I don't understand why that isn't more normal. And all the dads hanging out with their kids to make bikes and stuff, so cool.
As a father, I had some anxiety before pops showed up.
I admire the OG Chicana in the Charlie Brown shirt and slippers that mentioned her career in Aerospace /Boeing Legal, I’m sure she’s had her share of stereotypes, would love to hear more about her life experiences. I’m a young Chicana Engineer and still learning to navigate stereotypical situations.
She definitely needs s 30 min video.
Best of luck to you! As a Hispanic women, it’s tough, but don’t let it overrun you.
Yeah, but those were stereotypical characteristics that were created and adopted by your own culture. Hispanics played the victim card like a violin to get free education, handouts and take jobs from folks who were greatly more qualified.
Don't worry, you'll land the job you want even though someone more qualified deserves it. You guys are set now. And when you suck at that job and others have to fix your mistakes, they won't fire you because they'll fear you'll use the discrimination card.
My cousin was employed at Boeing as an electrical engineer and left for Airbus because of what I just told you. He made the mistake of learning Spanish and got stuck supervising the Hispanic engineers.
He explained to me that they didn't keep the Hispanic engineers because they were qualified, Boeing kept them for the sake of diversity. He also said his title of Supervisor was misleading. He was just there to correct the work of so called Hispanic engineers that were there 2 to 5 yrs.
It was his first job right out of university. A white kid.
What's to admire about a wardrobe that will get your ass kicked in certain areas lol. It had to be her grandparents that had experienced the stereotypes not these lady's. You can't be wearing stuff like this to work you have to wear your uniform unless your off duty so what's with your complaining.
We all are. It is pervasive.
I LOVE HOW WE PASSING ON THE BEST PARTS OF OUR CHICANO CULTURE TO THE GENERATION COMING UP 💕.
I know cross the border for a better life, but then trash America, and praise Mexican culture.
Maaan my girl Sandy is THIICK 👀 my goodness.
Shoutouts to them all for holding their values and traditions though man i really really love it!!
Which one is Sandy?
As a middle aged white dude from rural Oklahoma I love this. This is what makes America great, so many cultures living in one country. We are the melting pot.
Tulsa ok, checking in w the check in.
I been saying this! So many different cultures, foods, religions, traditions, Shoot even different type of Hobbies and Activities all here in the Great US! That's why I hate racism because it takes away from all the good we have!
@@909TITO707 worst thing is that USA calims some food/diches as their own these days. they think pizza is theirs now, not italian, or freaking apple pie. that shit existed in the UK 1000 years ago.
America was considered great back after WW2, economically, militarily, standard of living wise and here is the kicker - it was 90 % white. Go figure?
@@tedkeenan3341 usa was the greatest country in the 1900s- 40s,50s,60,70s BYYYY far. im not from the US, but i know usa is turning away from a 1 world country to a 3 today. look at Los angeles, i have even lived and studied in latin america, and usa is more like that now. detroit used to be a rich place wen 95% were white, today is like 30% white and its the poorest and dangerous place in the US. u aint racist if u say that, its just facts. my parents are from Peru
Sandy! What a gal! She was so welcoming and humble. I like how every person she introduced, she uplifted them and spoke nothing but goodness about them. She was wonderful. Great video!
Whats her insta?
Probably why she’s president !!! 🙌🙌
Facts!
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus Put down the meth
I watched for those yams!
As a Socal'er, to any person outside of California, or South-Western US, I'd like to give my insight over my 30 years of living along side our Latino/Latina neighbors and friends. The Hispanic people are the most open, caring and approachable out of our melting pot of a country. It's 100% correct that if you approach them with respect, you'll get it back and more. I'm German descent, and I understand the pride they have for their culture, but they're happy to be here, and raise their families here. I'm glad to have them as neighbors and friends.
We Mexicans always merging west coast hood lifestyle or lowriders with Mexican culture !!
They always put Mexican flags, Aztec murals, Mexican flag blankets, Mexican toys or anything that’s from they Mexican ethnicity into lowriders. This will never make it only a Chicano / Mexican thang or change where lowrider originated from which is West Coast - California. Lowrider is for every race not only Chicano. - FACTS !!!
If I had a dollar for every American that says the same thing i would be a billionaire. These people don't represent hispanics. Southamericans, Centralamericans, Spaniards do.
Awesome episode, Peter! These people and their passions are so worth our attention and respect. I love how they took you in and so freely shared their lifestyle. I also respect your process, you asked 3 or 4 times in this episode if it was okay to include a scene and/or was it okay to have your kids in this video. Well done. Oh my, I love so many of these cars! As a kid who grew up in the 1950s and 60s, I saw several I remember new, when they came out.
Yeah i really appreciated the respect and asking if its ok to film the Kids etc. Good stuff.
Being a black man born and raised in Dallas, I've always loved and been apart of Mexican culture. Rich history, beautiful women, great food and alot of good people.
Mexicans pushed almost every black out of la except like 2 blocks on Crenshaw. You like them because you think they are cool and not those type of whites. Corny Merkel azz ginga
Thanks holmes
@@thisgame2 I'm not in LA, everything doesn't revolve around what's happening in LA like you may think. Blacks and Mexicans in Texas pretty much have always got along and live in the same communities, we not go beef with each other just because of some LA street politics that doesn't concern us. Yall never go win because you lost focus on who the real enemy is.
@@rigobryant8050 Sunny South Dallas people feel you!
@@SuperDocstar Southside the realist💯💯💪🏽, I'm on the Northside
Watching these types of videos warm my heart every time. Me being a black male friends with Mexicans, worked with them, and just all around being closed, some of the best people I been around. I remembered going to my first Mexican party I felt nervous since I was the only black person there, but never felt unwanted. received nothing but love and have nothing but love and respect for the Mexican community.
So why do they call us mayates??? Ask your Mexican “friends” that 🤮
Thank you. I'm Mexican I have seen racist Mexicans just you know
@@danielmota1095 damn what a way to bring them down obv there are racists in every race
Porter, try and talk to your people about the culture problem in the black community. You can change everything when you change the culture.
lol don’t get so comfortable. Not every Mexican is the same. Not all Mexicans dress like this or talk like this. Not every Mexican acts the same. You still need to look out for yourself just like with any person. Just because someone is Mexican it doesn’t necessarily mean they will always be nice to you.
Being from the East Coast I love the lifestyle they have. Absolutely beautiful cars , motorcycles, bicycles. These people definitely have style and talent
Grew up in Echo Park in the 1970s and graduated Belmont High School. These were my neighbors and classmates. Lovely women and beautiful cars. I had left Echo Park for college back in 1978 and never returned as I served in the army after college, then moved around for work. Brings back memories.
As a Chicano I appreciate how he showed our people, how these chicanas represented and the comments from all walks seeing the love our people have for people, the game is about respect and to the ones that kno that and are about it, all love 🙏🏽
Oh, shut up and grow up.
Those Chicanas have a high BMI, tattoos, prefer the brothers, etc. Not the best example of Latinas, but I get that yoiur community lets women hop onto the soul pole
I'm an Arab and I lived in Florida for 6 years and the area I was in had a lot of Mexicans in it and they are some of the best ppl I ever been around! Very family oriented and hard working ppl! I miss the friends I made while I was out there! Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽!!!
What part of Florida is that??????
Gracias habibi 🤙🏽
Carna asada. Say less. Withebhesd rojo salsa Verde bet lol
@@Chrismedina3322 Mexicans are all over Florida. The Gulf of Mexico is literally right on the West.
@@ingrid_intheskythey must be in North Florida. Cuz I'm in South florida and I barely see them
the ladies are so natural cool and authentically just listenning to thems laughter makes me happy....
they are boulevard
There is nothing more beautiful on this planet than a family going out on a nice saturday afternoon to enjoy a hobby togther.
You deserve an award for the work you do. Seriously. Great job. Thank you.
Yes he really does 🙏
Thanks Viking!
thinking the opposite he is just there its like a tourist at mardi gras if you aint local then its not real and if you have 984k and dont have a real mic sorry im not buying it
Thought his stuff with the Amish and Hasidic Jews was fantastic. 👌
@Peter Santenello The camera work is stupendous 😏
Their hospitality is unmatched. Thank you to the ladies and their husbands for allowing Peter to share with us
Their husbands don't mind their wives having Black "guy friends" or going to a MALE personal trainer, so the "husband" part seems to be for tax purposes since it is tax season
@Ruslan Ibragimov chill
I'm just an old white guy looking in from the outside, but what I see is Chicanas having a great time, enjoying very much what there doing and forming sisterhoods. Major props to them.
My face hurts from smiling , these people are wonderful humans , looks so fun and beautiful art all the way around . President ladys laugh is awesome contagious
I use to play the grand theft auto series plus grand theft auto online way back when plus mafia 1 2 and3 I'm into cars as well sorry for any misspells.
I love how confident the ladies are in a male dominated lowrider culture. Salute!
Nothing is male dominated. Women just have to put in more effort, and be outspoken when they know the industry you are talking about (i see this term overused in every industry I work in, tech and weed now and its untrue and I can prove it) You just dont see females trying to dominate industry or make business moves like men do because men are the breadwinners and competitive types.
Theres two type of confidence one is because you know what you doing second is when you act like you know I thought they were the second one.
You ever dated a Mexicana? Lol they know they don't want that smoke
@@dertythegrower Stop spreading misinformation.
@@s-_-831 lol , my feelings exactly
Love the vibes mama gives this whole video. She is so real.
HELL YEAH
As someone who’s not left the South very much……..
Very interesting culture and a lot of pride in their families. I enjoy seeing how other people live.
Seem like good people!👍
Come on up brother, LA is desperate for some diversity of thought
They seem that way...but you couldn't be more wrong
Who could possibly not love and respect these people, I'm overwhelmed by their generosity, hospitality, and fundamentally family friendly community ❤❤❤
@@redskywalker3374 HAHAHAHA MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE CHICANOS AND THEY RARELY SHOPLIFT J CAT
Generosity made me laugh. American taxpayers are the generous ones. I will bet you my next 2 paychecks that none of these people in the video have paid taxes in decades. Hey Tina have you heard of Earned Income Credit?
These people?
Hi 🔥🔥🙏
@@redskywalker3374 And no one can "read" your comment cause you deleted it. Why?
You bring out the raw reality of street cultures: it's beauty and the human side of bonding on shared passions. These people inspire us through your content. For instance the term "gang member" is actually universal to people. "Representing my neighborhood" and the social control that goes with it.
Growing up. We're going to the culture. I lived in a postwar project. Out west we stood up and managed in the 70's. I'm changing to my eurogenic mix, and the spirits of Polo and Magellan are up and coming back. We're the Gen X-2k bridge.
@James Bond i'm a bit of a 'iffy when it comes to grammar. I might suggest that I understood you from a condescending perspective. Think of a Bradford in the council houses.
Corporations crush cultures.
Notice you see no corporations really in the entire things that Peter shows.... 🤔
🕶
Yes
So they for open borders but they will protect their neighborhood if you come into it? But if usa treats its border like that they are racist. These are just grown ups playing dress up who never grew up.
Wow those cars are works of art
Proud to have roots and connections to this culture, as a kid that grew up in California it’s so mind-blowing when you start paying attention to the details in your neighborhood
I like her definition of gang member. Representing her culture. Representing her neighborhood. Representing her elders.
I NEVER thought I would say this, but much respect to you Ma'am.
It's your neighborhood. You have to take care of your neighbors. You just use different words.
God Bless
Gang members are scum.
Would you say the same thing if it was a white gang showing animosity towards other races in their neighborhood?
Foh. fuck that gang shit.
Trying to find these replies to my comment and having no luck at all
sounds all good until you live next to these people
they act good in car shows, but not all of them are bad people
Sandy just radiates a different type of energy. A real down to earth Humble Queen with an edge. Thank you for inspiring so many people older and younger ,myself included🤎
He is one of the most gracious host I have ever witnessed. No matter where he is, he is never judgmental, just reporting. May God bless this man and his family.
Awesome content. I love the vibe of LA. Culture, People, Music, Food, Clothes, Art, Cars, Style 😍😍. Ive always said if i was from America, id be from LA 😆. Much love from New Zealand.
Peter your work is truly fascinating. Your content is better then 95% of the crap on television, and the diversity of different cultures keeps the viewer interested. Take a bow!!!!
I’m old, white and live nowhere near LA, but can absolutely appreciate the beauty and care of these cars.
Old white people get so much hate. ❤️❤️❤️
Ask those Mexican who invented hip hop
@@Joshtherealdeal Those aren't Mexicans they're 3rd gen Chicanos.
@@El.Matamoros. 😂 sons and daughters of immigrants they have nothing to do with black American music they’re just cultural appropriation black culture
@@Joshtherealdeal Most of the ones that do that are the chicanos,99% of these aren't even sons of immigrants their parents aren't even from Mexico they have nothing to do with it they even admitted to being 3rd gen and beyond those have nothing to do with Mexico.
Good people! Love the way they’re so accepting to others coming to see their culture. I’d love to get out there one day and experience an event like that. Much love and respect 🙏🏻❤
What many don’t realize is. It takes lots of money to create a Lowrider, it’s classy, it takes discipline, education in finance or a Good Job you enjoy working hard at!! Low riders are the Trophy!
Education in finance ? Lmao stop. Majority these fools didn't pass econ 101. 😂 Putting 70k in a hobby ..
classy? far from it LOL
One thing I love about this is that low riding brought all these people together without any violence just a lot of love.!!!..
Chicano culture fascinated me since i'm around 13.. im 33 now. Much love from germany to cali. Hope i'll be able to ever see this live ine day.
U like John Gotti too LoL 🤣
I love these ladies ❤ amazing culture! Lots of love from Switzerland 🇨🇭
PS: I love car culture and having an inside view to this beautiful chicana culture! I drive a 24yo Chrysler straight from Detroit. There are girls like us, who are born with gasoline in our blood 🥰
❤❤❤
They're overweight
From switzerland too, love this culture as well. Kinda happy to have found all these vidéos
@@ChagossianCheetahwell we can't all be tall thin model types...sheesh..😮
You know what... I smiled the entire time. I had preconceived notions about the area you showed me and the people within it. I was wrong. These people all seem so nice and warm to you. Thanks again for what you do!
Just goes to show that we have more in common with each other than the politicians and leaders who tell us otherwise
Biggest smile on my face watching these Lowrider Culture videos. Everyone is having a great time, people of all ages it's so nice to see.
Now this is a valuable event. You have big homies or Chicana's with boy and girl kids and not swearing every 2 sec and it teaches the kids to stay outta trouble and have guidance with the older men n women. As well as a father or mother and son or daughter bonding event. I love learning about different things and cultures and the way they do things. Love the vid great job bud.
Christina's blue Impala is gorgeous!
I'm in my 30s of middle eastern descent. I grew up watching movies like Blood In Blood Out & American Me. Fell in love with the Los Angeles chicano culture ever since. I could relate to the warm nature of chicanos & how family is an important part of their lives. Much love.
All those movies weren't real. They were brought to you by ppl brainwashing you to be dumb. These ppl are a result of that. You won't see the real culture
We don't fake it we just take it ese.
Much love carnal
Family is important to every race on earth.
Your comment brought back so many memories. Lol that was my favorite movie when it came out when I was in Jr. High. I look white like Miklo in the movie. I finally felt represented. I watched that movie so many times I knew the words.
Much love and respect to all the people who kept it real and told it like it is. Also, for accepting the random interview guy and making him feel at home.
I went to High School in Oxnard, California and hung out with the Chicana"s of the school. I:m Italian didnt have any groups for us then in the 70's, It was my familia
I’m a white girl grew up in East San Jose … most of my friends were Mexican. I absolutely love the carshows and old school music … they’re all about Familia 😊
And delicious tacos 😁👍

So much pride and respect in that culture 👏. Hugs from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷....
Much love and respect for your culture, as well. I love old school Salsa, always bumping classic Salsa. Never get tired of listening to Frankie Ruiz, el Tártaro is timeless. Never going out of style. ❤️🇵🇷❤️ Dios Bendiga tú isla.
Muchas gracias raza pero esto no es cultura mexicana es cultura de Cholo pocho de California esto no lo ves en México en México piensan que esto es algo del otro lado la mayoría de los del vídeo ni hablan español ni tienes padres de México.
I'm a former cholo loco pocho I speak a lil Spanish my parents were born in Mexico from Jalisco but my first car was a 53 Chevy low rider from Wilmas
All black inventions salsa came from Afro Cubans ,,, / reggae Jamaicans / hip hop Bronx black Americans. Mexicans got nothing to do with hip hop period . They culture appropriate black American culture.
@@Joshtherealdeal Mexicans don't culturally appropriate Hip Hop It's the Chicanos in the video who's parents and even grandparents aren't even from Mexico,Do all that in Mexico you'll get looked at like you're ridiculous.
Thanks for showcasing Chicano culture. I think that people forget it’s not all about gangs, violence, and drugs.
she just said she was a gang member. LOL. ghetto people
I absolutely love how close this culture is with their family members and friends, such a good thing to have.
I just wanted to say thank you for doing a segment on the Chicana lifestyle, I love what your doing, highlighting the Chicano and Chicana culture, its a beautiful thing/movement. Old School LA will never Die, I'm glad that the youngsters are holding on and taking over this beautiful culture. We are a rare breed that bleed just like you, it's a hard knock life growing up in the streets, we keep it going by fighting for our needs, it's not easy but really what is, we embrace what god has given to us, if you try to taketh away, we will not let you, we work too damn hard to get what we got and ain't nobody gonna try and stop us from exceeding excelling succeeding and accomplishing whatever it is we want for our future, family, and culture. God bless to all the cholas and cholos who do what they need to do to survive. I could only hope for the violence against each other, neighborhoods and territories to stop and hope that one day, we can all come together as one and get over who runs who and what and have a sick ass huge party and nothing but good times. And the world will see who we really are, good people doing the best we can to keep our culture alive well safe and successful. One Love Peter and to your family, thanks again and props✌🏼 this is how me and my prima greet each other.." Hola Chola" 💚
@philosophia - Good on you! "Hola Chola" from New Zealand!
The appropriate term is Chicinx, Adolf!
lmfao no thank you
love this Vid man keep up that hard work Cholo'$ OUT 604..
Beautiful name and beautiful words.
What a beautiful thing! I love people coming together like this.

@@concernedliberal4453 no it's not white boy
@@concernedliberal4453 gtfo with that LatinX bs its Mexican American or Chicano/chicana
@@concernedliberal4453 nawh it isn’t. it just is in your little bubble. majority of Hispanics are offended by silly looney leftists like you changing the Spanish language and creating words for them that don’t even exist. (I’m Sicilian so the Spanish and Italian languages are very similar) stop speaking for people- do these ppl look unhappy/oppressed to you?? ugh probably cause you live online. just be quiet and go outside.
Hey herman
That Chicano style of dress hasn't changed for over 70 years. It's one of my favorite things about the culture. With whitey trends come and go every few years but that solid OG Chicano style of dress has never gone out of style since the 1950's. It's so awesome.
I love sandy, amazing, positive and friendly woman! She has such a great personality and everyone seems to enjoy being around her
She's my cousin ‼️💪👏🏆🥰😍😘❤️🔥😎🔥
@@ShawtyPhatt sorry
@@ShawtyPhatt your cousin is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Love this video! I’m originally from the East Bay Area and shared in this culture as a teen/young adult. Such great memories I’ll always cherish. I’m in Massachusetts now but still connected to my Homies and enjoy watching their kids building bikes and keeping that strong culture and family bond.
Thank you for the smiles!
Car culture bridges everything, I've been from coast to coast and love it all. From rock crawlers, swangers, donks, lowriders, gassers, street rods, restomods, commercial rigs, 4x4's, it's all good if it's got wheels!
I’m American Mexican. I grew up in South Los Ángeles. Ive never really connected with the low rider scene, lifestyle or urban culture . But I do find the cars really beautiful. Interesting video.
There were cars in this video? I only saw lovely ladies 15:13
The correct term is Chicano or Mexican-american
Thank you Peter for giving our people some exposure and displaying a different image than from what the media likes to portray!! Your respectful approach is very appreciated ✊🏾🇲🇽 Chicano hasta la muerte!
Peter for me is another one of your life tours!! I never knew the Chicana culture so close as you show us today!!! Muchas gracias!!!
Peter, I watch ALL your videos. You’re amazing. Thanks for covering this as I’m a Chicano from California yet raised here in Vegas. There’s no one like you. It’s so natural to you. Seems like you’ve known everyone in each video, for years.
Love Chicano culture. I grew up around Chicanos in Norwalk and my second family is Chicano and as long as you respect people you will get respect.
*Chicinx*
Facts, got to give it, to receive it.
@@concernedliberal4453 it’s chicano
Eso es todo, Güero! Respect ✊🏽
Mexicans have various styles Mexicans some are rich businessman & other cholos and other rockers other cowboys and others strawberry 🍓
This is a culture totally different than what I’m used to. We don’t have anything like this in New Orleans. Everyone seems so friendly and inviting. Beautiful camaraderie. It looks like a lot of fun.
my first hop was in Nola y'all deep on canal st with curren$y tho
There’s no cholos in new orleans? What’s it like there?
I used to think where i live was cool but damn after seeing peter’s south cali videos i think where I live is boring as hell. Im from Vancouver, Canada and we definitely do NOT have a warm culture like this. After watching this video i just want to walk down this street and talk for hours with the people that built their cars and hear their stories. These cars are absolute classics and most of these folks build them from the ground up, as a car enthusiast myself, all these amazing people have my 100% respect. Thank you for showing the world how beautiful all these cultures are.
Peter, thank you so much for bringing people in this country together and showing we are not much different. We gotta live together and we are all Americans. Can't be afriad of each other. Let's all come together and enjoy this country as one.
This is one of the few aspects of LA culture that I love. These classic cars are so great!
Watching this from Dallas and I told my Mexican-American wife it’s so cool how different the Hispanic heritage is from California and Texas, 2 totally different lifestyles and 2 of my favorites!! Awesome work Peter and thanks to Sandy and all the Chicanas for this video
Yeah Texas Hispanics are weird
No lowriders in Texas?
@Tina Draper not as beautiful as California ones.. texas suckxz
@@tinadraper9143 yeah we have low riders here just nothing like SoCal. And Texas Hispanics are great, that’s part of why everybody and their Momma’s are moving here
@Project C.J.J yeah barely!!
bikes on the blvd is what my boyfriend is in! its such a good bike club i cant believe i saw it on here omg!! but as a Chicana the amount off love out people have to give some time to tell you bout our culture is very beautiful, im so glad your able to experience these things. keep the good work
If you wanna know about the original low rider culture that started it all was out here in New Mexico. The homies still cruise every Sunday up and down central ave with the dopest rides! Love these low rider videos you do
As someone who is born and raised in Canada I found this video to be super interesting and cool!
I've never been impressed when it comes to Hot Rods but, Lowriders have always wow'd me since I was a kid and seeing and learning about beautiful Chicano culture is just amazing!!!!
i love that the whole family and friends come together as much as possible working on something they love and hyping each other up throughout ❤️
Thank you so much for this! I’ve loved lowriders since I was a little girl. Seeing women with these dope cars is a beautiful thing.
I’m a gringa but I have been married to a Mexican man for 10 years. He is a mechanic also and has taken me to many of these low rider events here in the US and in Mexico. Mexican ppl are the chillest, most easy going people on this planet. Even if you don’t speak Spanish and vice versa, they will offer you a taco or a horchata to drink just for visiting. Half my in laws don’t speak English but I have never felt out of place around them. I spent a month in Leon, Guanajuato in 2015 for Christmas and that was awesome. Mexican people just love to celebrate with family unlike Americans who concentrate more on material things and money 😕
This is awesome. It’s like they cringe a bit at you at first, but then realize how open you are and not making fun, just honestly curious, and they get cool with you real quick. It’s great to see the kindness from you to them, and how welcoming they are with you. Great videos my dude.
Yeah I didn’t know who he was but after watching HIS Chanel and rapping HES A BADASS DUDE ML&R 🙏🏽🙌🏽star⭐️
I've always stereotyped Chicano(a) culture to be associated with gang culture, but it was good to hear from a woman who loves the scene but has a professional life as well. That also came from not being educated, but this video is a great representation. So many difference people and dynamics of the culture.
Amazing watching you interview people. Very respectful and street smart. Strong culture.
I am not really a low rider guy but I have always given much respect to the low ridding community. They are some of the most detailed car builders around. I love to see there detail in paint and especially engraving
Thank you for this video. As a first generation Mexican American, I had a few Tia y Tio that would embrace this culture and I also embraced when I was young ,but as a I got older, I was always stereotyped as a gang member/uneducated/violent/ghetoo etc which made me distance from the Chicano culture. This video seeing the female engineer in her chicana style really put a smile on my face, that I should have never listen to other people's thoughts about my culture. At the age of 27, that works in the operating room, I will start embracing my chicana heritage. Going to start getting some outfits now and gotta find me some hoops lol. Thank you for this video. Made me feel like a kid again going to cat shows with my family. Viva mexico y ameica siempre 🇺🇸❤️🇲🇽
lol what the fuck is a "MEXICAN AMERICAN"?? you know that MEXICO is in the America Continent dont you??.
O sos Mexicano o sos Estadounidense, dejense de pelotudeces de "African american , mexican american" bla bla bla , parecen idiotas que no saben que quieren ser en la vida.
Love you sister keep that flame lit. Chicano is a culture not a gang and we love just like any other. I bet u gunna look good doing it too
Cause it is a gang culture why pretend...
Keep up the amazing work brother

When i look at the top & see all the succesful people.. there is NO mexicans 😩I review weed products on my TH-cam channel .. tryna make it out the Hood ☝️
@@SevenHunnid You are not looking enough.
PS, I grow for big companies heh.
@@SevenHunnid Found this real quick.. Oscar De La Hoya, Selena Gomez, Jessica Alba 🔥, Mario Lopez, Eva Longoria, you need to learn how to grow, doing reviews is a thing of the past in the industry broham. (again, look at the about pages for confirmations heh)
This was was so incredibly fascinating. Great job Peter. Can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this
Love the unbiased representation you do on your videos!!
Growing up in ELA, there was a sub culture that came from the low rider. As many of our families grew up watching low riders, many of us were into mini trucks and lowered VW’s. I had both. We weren’t cholos and cholas, we were more into the nightclub disco scene. We also cruised Whittier Bl. Just a different section. Would love to see you do a video on this subject. Thanks, keep up the good work.
Mini trucks were big in South Florida back in the 90s
Learn Spanish first before you say anything Efren!
Yeah that was a big scene. In general car culture is popular in LA/so cal. 4x4s, motorcycle clubs, custom rods/hot rods, paisa truckin clubs, Asian import car clubs, etc.
That would be awesome. Mini trucks , cha-cha girls, 80s disco was definitely a movement in the late 80s that's sadly overlooked. I grew up in Whittier and though I was too young to partake....it definitely was something essential, cruising on Whittier boulevard also before the violence in the 90s put an end to it.
I LOVED those mini-trucks. I wished Toyota and "Datsun" (Nissan) still made that sized mini-trucks - they were a great size, got much better MPG, and were tons of fun.
I'm just a random dude from the UK but I really admire their culture especially as a classic car lover myself! Some dope vehicles on show.
It’s really just black culture that got highjacked
@@MrAaronlewis55 is it?
@@traveller4434 no it's not Latinos started it this fool doesn't know anything just talking out of his ass
@@MrAaronlewis55 🙄🙄
@@MrAaronlewis55 you sound foolish
The striking thing is the paint color on the cars. The colors are beautiful
These East LA Chicano/a videos are great, as a teacher I can't wait to share them with my Ethnic Studies classes.
You keep killing it Peter! Especially with the LA Mexican American crowd! don’t stop!
I love this! As a Mexican-American, I can appreciate the Chicanas ❤️.
But why do y’all rap ?that’s not Chicano culture that’s black American culture rap got nothing to do with Mexicans
true
let's all stick to our own culture
@@Joshtherealdeal what are you even talking about?
@@iLikeCok hip hop black American culture Mexicans riding off our culture
Loved the video. Great job 👍
So glad I watched this! 👍 Thank You... This'll come in handy, when I visit LA later this year.
The car scene has always united people its a great thing in many ways. Nice insight to this scene, Big love from Scotland UK
I'm a white dude that is from and grew up in El Paso TX and I was always excited for lowrider competitions . Their amazing and straight works of art and I would love to see this culture thrive and still stay original to itself.
Just came from Ft Bliss after over 4 years there. El Paso is a really good place.
I EFFN LOVE MY CULTURA. WE WERE ALMOST CANCELLED OUT BUT PPL LIKE THIS KEPT THAT FLAME LIT. ITS OUR TIME
