“Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters”? Really?

I can see that the Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters are the perfect example for subculture, because they are a minority that share the same likes, even they adopt a few aspects of the real mexican Gangsters. Exactly how the book explain, they adopt and feel like own, aspects like the clothes, the tattoos and the haircuts that belong completely to a different culture. But, for my, a really big difference it's the fact that they believe that are really mexican gangsters, so instead to adopt a few aspects of other culture, they want be other culture, like if they wanna be those people. I don't know if you understand what i try to say, in any case you let me know.
