Meaning of a Spanish word used in Mexican

votes
Someone published this picture on Facebook and I know the meaning of everything but "chapinguero". Chapín means bowlegged or Guatemalan - I'm presuming it is a derogatory usages. But the use in this pictures seems to be a friendly one. I've searched many internet sources (including RAE) but cannot find a definition. Please forgive me if it is an inappropriate vulgarity and delete the post. I'm not interested in those kinds of words.
See bosquederoble's answer and my comment. I'll see if I get anymore responses but I think the question is answered.

Note right below the Mexican flag in the right middle of the second picture. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 17, 2016
It looks like it means also a person who lives in Chapingo, Mexico. Thanks for going the extra mile for me. I didn't try googling "Chapingo." - Jubilado, Jun 17, 2016
I think that is also possible, but given the "semestre" I thought maybe it would talking about the students celebrating the end of the school term. :) - bosquederoble, Jun 17, 2016
Bosque, I think that's it. I kept reading "semestre" as "semana" since it's Friday. - Jubilado, Jun 17, 2016
