Kind of true
But it's also a little slanted. Just look through the foto's in the newspaper link. Your correct it is VERY diverse. Most boxers, baseball players came from the lower levels of society. for example Sammy Sosa was a shoe shine boy until he made it big in baseball. It was a way out of the Barrio, much like playing basketball in the US.
ex president Hipolito Mejia was from the ciboa region which is very white, plus a large asian influence due to this being the bread basket of the country. current president Leonel Fernadez is very dark.
Also Spiggers???? I think this is used at the start of the thread. again must be something from the US. Please don't paint all people that speak spanish with that brush. goes back to the diversity.
We dont all live in Washington Heights NYC. However we are starting to see the "Gangsta Look here in the Capital,(low pants,an sidways or backward caps)" but that is mainly attributed to Deporte's from NYC, and TV
Sometimes Cable is not what you need. Gracias Dios no es normal.
panafrica said:I realize that Bienamor...and didn't mean to imply that all Latinos/Hispanics look like my links. That was from a thread demonstrating the diversity of Latinos...and to show the African influence!
