Thai "Mexican" Gangster

In this case we're going to talk about an expanding Thai group of men that follow the subculture of mexican gangs. In this group of men we can find police members, bureaucrats, teachers and so many other respectable professionals that dress like Mexicans Gangsters, but in the inside they are just  family people that want to dress and to have something to be identified with. As we know Bangkok is a messy city. There is a lot a trouble going in this huge city. You can be easily involved in trouble so what I think is they dress this way to avoid this trouble. I think they got this tough look so they can live easily in Bangkok. It is remarkable that people who choose to follow a subculture, also choose to imitate only the good things and things that can make their live easier in their environment.

Racism in Colombia


As we know Colombia is a multicultural country. There are many subcultures inside Colombian culture. One of this subcultures and one of the most important is the Afro-colombian people. According to the Dane 10% of the Colombian population is descendant from the slaves that came 400 years ago from Africa. The slaves were forced to work in agriculture and construction of the new empire. Slaves suffered abused from the Spaniards. Bit by bit afros escaped and stopped the slavery. Although this happened long time ago we still live in a society that suffers this problem called racism. Racism happens when afro-colombian people doesn't have the same opportunities than the rest of the Colombians. I think that everyone should have the same opportunities and facilities because Colombia is a free country and we must live together in peace.
