"Chongas"

The derogatory term, "chonga" is not as commonly used as terms such as "guido", "gangster", or "hick", but it is heard when people are being racist toward Hispanic women, calling them trashy and prostitute-like. According to urbandictionary.com, a "chonga" is "a girl of Hispanic origin, usually between the ages of 12 and 19 but sometimes as young as 8. Primarily found in Miami, the chonga is known for her cheap form of a dress, a combination of the so-called 'gangsta' look and that of a prostitute, but can vary between the two... Depending on how ghetto she thinks she is, she may wear oversized men's t-shirts with tight, usually white Brazilian pants, with a colored thong worn underneath that shows through (on purpose)." This definition is extremely racist, as a lot of what is displayed on urbandictionary.com usually is, but this can be often taken to offense by many Hispanics, as other races dub the term to the race as a whole and not simply those who display these characteristics. Derogatory terminology has been created for nearly every race that exists in our society, and that is why so much controversy dealing with racial discrimination has arised.
