Talk:Cholo

message: 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?

Game playable there in java form, also visible cover artwork if anyone wondered what the other use of it was -.o;
Thanks

message: 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)
thread_title: Chile and Argentina

message: 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)

thread_title: Chamizo

message: The first citation includes the following, ostensibly supporting, quote:
"Al hijo de negro y de india, o de indio y de negra, dicen mulato y mulata. A los hijos de éstos llaman cholo; es vocablo de la isla de Barlovento; quiere decir perro, no de los castizos (raza pura), sino de los muy bellacos gozcones; y los españoles usan de él por infamia y vituperio.""
What this source says is misrepresented.  It does not say that cholo meant a cross between a mestizo and an Indian; it says that a cholo is a person of mixed Indian and Negro ancestry two or more generations after the mixing occurred.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hadding (talk • contribs) 04:25, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

message: In Modern usage
   Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador
The last paragraph should be changed from:
The term as used in Ecuador is supposedly a neutral term to designate the human groups described above. It may be used, however, following the colonial Spanish manner of speech as a pejorative term to disparage someone as being a member of the "lower class", a designation historically associated and usually reserved to maintain in check the social status of those of greater Amerindian admixture.

thread_title:  Cholo in Ecuador 

message: ie, not always an 'ethnic slur' as the intro says now.  Can also be like a creative way of describing trainhoppers, for example: "los cholos" (using poetic license, perhaps) .. ever since i first heard this term used in Mexico, i thought it might have an ambiguous meaning based on context.  not unlike how a guy might call his buddy "cabron" in jest or otherwise friendly manner. i will look for sources to confirm or dispel this notion, but I just thought I'd ask others here first. -PrBeacon (talk) 22:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hair nets 

message: I feel uneasy with the use of the Word Cholo in the text of the article. First it states the term is peyorative, and then it goes to use it freely throughout the article (especially in the "Fashion Stereotypes section.) It would like like the article about the "N" word saying "N****s usually dress this and that."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.19.194 (talk) 19:09, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I felt the same way, but you said it much better than I could have.PurpleChez (talk) 02:36, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely.  The "Fashion Stereotypes" subsection overuses it so badly that I think it is an intentional attempt to use the word as many times as possible.  Apart from that, the tone is something I'd expect froma gossip/fashion mag, not an encyclopaedia. LowKey (talk) 03:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of word Cholo in the article itself 

message: I don't think this sentence from the article is correct:
"The word "xolotl" (pronounced "cholotl") is an Aztec word which means dog."
Not true, but you're in the ballpark.  "Itzcuintli" (or "Esquintle" as it's spelled today in Mexican Spanish) means "dog" in Aztec, not Xolotl.  Xolotl was the name of a god of the underworld.  Appropriately, this God had a dog-like form, because you needed to be buried with a particular type of dog, the Xoloitzcuintli (Xolotl-dog), was supposed to be buried with you so that the dog could help you get to the underworld.  Without this dog, you wouldn't be able to find your way to the underworld easily, and the underworld was Xotlotl's domain, so that's why they called it the Xotloitzcuintli.  So say the articles that I have linked to above and apparently their reliable sources, I haven't checked but feel free, and so say I, who learned this in Latin American History class.  Chrisrus (talk) 01:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Acually, this article, Dogs in Mesoamerican folklore and myth, explains it best.  "Xolotl" was the god, "esquintle/itzcuintli" is "dog", and Xoloitzcuintli means "Xolotl-dog", or "Dog that brings you to this particluar god named "Xolotl", "Dog of Xolotl", "Xolotl's dog", or some such.  Is that clear? May I fix accordingly? Chrisrus (talk) 02:48, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
