The Mexican Emo Wars
Groups of young people known as emos, due to their choice of music and dress, have recently become the target of harassment in Mexican cities. Pegged as "androgynous suicidial misfits" in their black eye-liner and tight jeans, members of the group face homophobic slurs as well as criticism for their supposed "lack of ideology." Hundreds of riot police have been deployed to protect them.
