wow! amazing the level of journalism of this youtuber. he captures the chicano culture well and makes it the more interesting and entertaining to watch. most people know nothing about this topic, myself included. his questions are right on point and they allow for persons to open up and speak freely about themselves, their lifestyles, ideas, feelings and why they are chicanos. here in this video we get a view into the lives of chicanas, a subject that has remained relatively shadowed by commercial tv and other mass media communication companies. the chicanas are nice people, quite friendly and fun women, many of whom were born or raised in the usa. mass media never shows this about chicana culture. usually only the negative violent stuff is mentioned and shown in mass media channels. so yes a very interesting educational and entertaining original content. the interviewer should be a professional journalist in my view and he deserves a medal for best journalist work on the subject. thanks

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.

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.

That would be awesome. Mini trucks , cha-cha girls, 80s disco was definitely a movement in the late 80s that's sadly overlooked.
