Ruca

Despite the many naive Caucasian Americans who believe the term "ruca" (and probably hyna too) were originated by Bradley Nowell of Sublime and other white Southern Californians, both ruca and hyna have long been Chicano (American of Mexican ancestry) slang terms used in SoCal barrios, particularly by cholo and chola types, since the beginning of Chicano subculture. Please do your research for further notice and in the future. Sublime, particularly Bradley Nowell, was clearly a white boy from Long Beach, CA who was very familiar and obviously infatuated with Chicano and Reggae cultures. There is nothing wrong with that at all, I think it's cute, but please don't give credit to the wrong person or people! Know who the true originators/OGs ARE. I think white Southern Californians, particularly from the Los Angeles area, are a lot more aware of Chicano subculture. I'm talking to the ones outside of the state who aren't familiar with us!
