What is Norteno?
1.
Spanish meaning "Northerner"; Nortenos claim red as their color and often wear red rags (bandanas) around their heads or hang them from their pockets. Their number is 14, X4 or XIV in Roman numerals. 14 is significant because the fourteenth letter in the alphabet is N, which stands for Norte. Most Nortenos are born in the United States and speak fluent English and Spanish. They engage in activities such as

A mostly Mexican (but includes the occasional confused white kid) street gang based in Northern California. Although this is a predominately Mexican gang, most members tend to act like African Americans or Afrikano's like they call them when they actually try to sound like a real Mexican. The only time a Northerner ever acts like a real Mexican is when they are talking to white people.
History: The California prison system was once home to one Mexican gang called La Eme of which most incarcerated Mexican were involved in. Then one Mexican from Northern California stole a pair of Converse from a Southern Mexican causing the gand to split into 2 factions... the Nortenos and the Surenos.
"Man that Mexican sure acts like a n*gger!"
"Oh, he must be a Norteno."
