Hihi
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, how to I create another Cholo page for the excellent Firebird video game from the 1980s of the same name?
http://www.1984.org.uk/gspeccy.php?game=cholo.z80&name=Cholo&text=cholo
Game playable there in java form, also visible cover artwork if anyone wondered what the other use of it was -.o;
Thanks

I can't believe there's a page for cholos, but no page for vatos.
Then make one, vato. ¡No es muy difícil! And be sure to put it on Wiktionary too. Diderot 14:10, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
_______
Chicanos did not start California's first gangs. The first documented urban gang in California was the Sydney Ducks in 19th century San Francisco, made up of Australians of presumably English and Irish ancestry. Even the first gang in northeastern Los Angeles, the Sunset Boys, was not a Chicano nor a Mexican-American gang. However, Chicano gangs managed to survive over the decades while the early Anglo and other white gangs died off (as did early African-American and Asian-American gangs). It would be more appropriate to say that the Chicano gangs are California's oldest gangs, not the first gangs.
Interesting assertion. It is somewhat debatable depending on one's definition of an urban gang but interesting nonetheless. I would remind that not all documented reports are an accurate reflection of a truth or the reality of a society's history. It's a good idea for anyone wishing to contribute to the definition of "cholo" in this article to keep in mind, that, the most common user of the term "cholo" in America today and most specifically Los Angeles is the cholo himself. Despite the assertion that the "first documented urban gang" in S.F. and the "Sunset Boys" in Northeast L.A. were the first gangs in California, and that neither was associated with Chicanos or "mestizos", I would also remind that the main intent of this article is to describe what a cholo is. In this reagrd, it is not important to discuss which ethnicity groups had the first gangs in California; especially since, it is rather certain that any "non-mestizos" of California's distant past were very unlikely to be using the word cholo at all.

[edit] Chile and Argentina
I'm changing the part that says "Although in Chile and Argentina 'cholo' is rarely..." because some of this is not true of argentina. Refer to the article and discussion in the spanish wikipedia. --cholo 21:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] White/Amerindian Concerns
it says in the part about the type of Cholos that are Native americans who adopt the Hispano/Mestizo culture to become Cholos. I was wondering, would a american kid with Irish,Portuguese, and Native American descent be able to accept a new identity as a Mestizo ? can anyone tell me? - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.194.150.6 (talk) 06:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
