That is correct Capt, I've seen those figure before. Notice that most of them wear what is consider "gang clothes". Is a stereotype of what is consider latino gangs in Los Angeles.

hysterical That is funny.
Damn you guys are making me feel old. Homeboy is a word that was made popular when I was a kid, and now, only like 15-20 years later, people dont know where it comes from.
Then again, back then only hip hop/break dancing types used the word...seems like the whole world thinks its 'gangsta' nowadays.
