Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters

cultural appropriation  is when a group of people take some characteristics or costums from another one or maybe are just influenced by those. 
That happens with thai men who are identified as Mexican gangsters, they are inspired by the originals Mexican Gangsters in the using of their clothes, tattos, hairstyles and lifestyle. but those thai mexican gangsters are people with normal life, I mean, they have common jobs and life but they have a second family.  while real gangs are involve in drugs, illicit, and violence something not so good for society, and this its something criticized by thai men.

AfroColombians

Afrocolombians are a very important part of us, they are part of colombian culture. Sadly, colombian people discriminate among each others. I really dont understand how a society in progress practice racism where all people should get the same treat.
Why just 2% of afro people have the chance to get the university? Why do they live in poorness?
or why the mortality rate of them is higher? Those are some of the questions I wonder myself and made me think about a place where no one be afected by diferences between other ones.

Introducing Me!

Hello. My name is Carlos Cárdenas Perez, I am almost 17 years old, And I study Mechanical Engineering student in La Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla. I live in El Carmen neighborhood with a lot of people. Essentially, my family is formed by my sis, my daddy, my mom and a baby she is waiting for. I like to spend a lot of my time hanging out with my friends and my family. I really love eat too much, especially fast food. I used to play tennis with my best friend very commonly, and I enjoy play the guitar, I used to play at the church every weekend, but now  in this semester I can’t  cause I don’t have enough time. I made this blog because I really want to improve my English skills and let some people to know a little about me.                                        Pd.
