Tuxedo Boys

From Rap Dictionary

The Tuxedo Boys is a gang mainly with Sri-Lankan and Tamil youth from the Tuxedo Court housing complex in north east Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. The Tuxedo Boys were founded by high school friends who came together, not only to defend themselves from anti-South Asian sentiments in Scarborough during the early and mid 1990's, but as a way to make roads to other criminal activity. Most young men from Tuxedo Court will identify themselves as a Tuxedo Boy, but will not necessarily be active in daily gang activity. Police theorize that hardcore members of the Tuxedo Boys are aligned with the once formidable AK Kannan street gang, but in the late 1990's to early 2000s, youths claiming affiliation to the Tuxedo Boys were connected to a series of attacks on other Tamil gangs, many of them aligned with AK Kannan. Their rivals include the VVT.
