I have some Norteno friends. I'll be the first to admit I'm not gangster. I
think I know the hairstyle you're talkin about. Is it where you got a long tail on the middle-back of your head and the rest is bald? It looks coo on the right person, but if that really is what a "mongol haircut" is, that's just asking for someone to hold you to the ground with your hair. I've seen some fights around here in Chico and have seen that "tail" held to the ground with a guys boot and they kicked at it until it was ripped off his head.
Doesn't sound fun.
