[ It should be noted that, in the US, âcholoâ was originally a derogatory term for people with Mexican or mixed ancestry. The word was reclaimed during the 1960s as a symbol of pride and non-assimiliation, and today is associated with both the hip hop and lowrider scenes.

Cholo as an English-language term dates at least to 1851 when it was used by Herman Melville in his novel Moby-Dick, referring to a Spanish speaking sailor, possibly derived from the Windward Islands reference mentioned above. There is a reference to The Cholo in Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), although it is used to refer specifically to a blood oath instead of a Mexican person. 2  In the film Napoleon Dynamite (2004), Nano and Arturo De Silva play characters simply referred to as Cholo No. 1 and Cholo No. 2.
