Appropriation of mexican subculture by Thai men.

Thai gangsters are an example of a culture appropriation of another subculture because, they are trying to adopt or imitate some characteristics from the Mexican gangster culture, highlighting the fact that they are just trying to imitate some superficial or trivial characteristics like the way they dress. ​We learn from this article that although the Thai subculture is trying to imitate the Mexican gangster subculture, they don’t seem to have a deep understanding of what being a real Mexican gangster is, they are just trying to imitate their aesthetic  because compared to the Mexican subculture the Thais are really calmed, they even ask permission to their wives to get tattoos done, and they work as teachers, policemen and bureaucrats when they are not being a “gangster”, nothing alike Mexican gangster who are really violent and troublemakers.
