Default What do Americans look like and the Germans can Keep the Speedos


What does an American Look like? From my Travels most young people around the
world are try very hard to emulate American styles from Fashion to Music and
food. When I was in Paris All the Algerian homeboys were heavy into the hip
hop culture heavy, listening to Rap music and wearing Nikes and break danncing
under the Effile Tower? When I would travel to Jamaica More then ten years ago
I used to go to people homes Listen to Reggae in the dark and smoke pot, I
returned here recently are now those same people watch cable MTV2 and listen
to DMX and smoke crack. I was just in the Dominican Republic for three months,
and the majority the people there are obsessed with American urban fashions.
Most of them looked more urban than my friends Bronx. AS a matter of fact, the
more I dressed in the fashion of the hip hop culture the more people thought I
was indigenous to the island !! (It did help that I was really tan) I wear
American football replica jerseys and baseball caps all the time, not because I
want to be included in the Hip Hop world but because I actually like sports,
The more I dressed like a homeboy every one thought I was Dominican even the
Dominicans. I would walk into discos and the doormen would be shocked that I
wasn't Dominican. I would be wearing Indianapolis Colts Jersey, really How
many Domincans know who Peyton Manning is? They would speak to me in their
rapid patios Spanish and when I would reply in my mangled attempt at Spanish
they would really bug out. You want my advise on how not to look like an
American, just dress like the Germans, They wear socks with sandals and
Speedos.
