      Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s a reference to a subculture, not an ethnicity. Though most cholos are probably hispanic, being a ‘cholo’ isn’t down to your racial genetics, it’s a subculture.

        It meant someone who has indigenous ancestry… ie, a racial term, since there are many American indigenous ethnicities.

        You could argue it doesn’t mean that anymore, but do you often hear it being applied to non-Hispanic people?
