The word "chola" comes from the Spanish word "chula" typical of Madrid, with which the women of the town were designated. In Bolivia the term is used to refer to the Indians of the high areas. Although it is not so used, it is currently considered discriminatory and pejorative. The word "chola" does not have the same racist intensity as the word "cholo": the first word is very common to designate regional terms, such as the "Chola Paseña" hat, "Chola Chuquisaqueña" clothes, etc. In popular parlance, the word "chola" is also used to refer to a woman who loves a man, and the term "cholero", refers to a womanizer, is widely used. Another meaning is the one that most relates to the migrated person from the countryside to the city, who tries to adapt his or her customs of origin to the new idiosyncrasy of the city.

Cholo is a loosely defined term that has had various meanings relating to the connotation of people of indigenous heritage, who in many cases have some Spanish blood (mestizos), or who have adopted elements of Spanish dress, language or culture.[1] Its use has migrated from the initial negative ethnic designation as originated by Hispanic criollos in the 16th century.
