Why did the Mexican community let Konnan a Cuban get away with acting like a Cholo stereotype

[get these nets]

I thought only Sen Dog was Cuban. B-Real isn't Mexican?

Psycho was a banger and one of the first mp3s I ever downloaded

Psycho was HARD

ain’t no cholo marks out there.

And did Konnan actually call himself a cholo? I never recalled that. Thread seems like an attempt to “cancel culture” by bringing up old shyt.

It's not that serious nobody is trying to cancel anyone. I just thought it was funny.

I was more surprised finding out how big of a star he was in Mexico. Legend status down there

 

[Tommy Knocks]

He lived in SoCal before wrestling which is how he was able to nail it so well. Hella eses down there. Probably all he hung out with, and mexico is a 1-2 hour drive away.

Plus, we're in hollywoodland man, folks in cali know what it is.

No wonder he didn't get mad at Steiner when Steiner was saying Spic's in Triple AAA LOL dude is a wannabe Mexican.

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

It’s a tv show


These nikkas are actors basically. What are we supposed to do, protest?


Should the military have protested Sgt Slaughter for not being an actual sgt? Like... huh

Konnan isn’t Mexican?

I can’t front.... thought he was Mexican too and never cared to research to confirm it


I mean, he looks Mexican, he speaks Spanish, he came from the Mexican feds (where he was a major star)

Benefit of doubt

Came to post this

Legit the best underrated theme of the 90s

Also, during a time period where wrasslin was still all about cac rock songs

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

the most offensive part about Konnan is he has people saying "Rowdy rowdy bowdy bowdy" instead of what Master P was actually saying

Maybe there was a trademark issue there or something

I also didnt know he was cuban

Mexicans I grew up around definitely felt some type away about Salvadorians, Puetro Ricans and so on.

I could see someone taking issue with a dude being a "Cholo" stereotype, I don't necessarily
think it's a guarantee though.

I remember one of my best friends telling me how South Americans and Cubans/Ricans/etc are below him and refused to wear shoes without socks for like 30 seconds because he’s not Dominican
