What is with dom-yorks and trying to be extra-dominican?

[Julio Tulio]

Now I actually lived back home for eleven years and i dont feel the need to put 20 flag and stickers on my car,listen to bachata all day,talk loud,BAD,slang filled spanish all day and night and generally act like a greaseball tiguere de patio.

Why do dominicans BORN in the states or left at sixteen and seventeen years old feel the need to be extra proud and over the top with the dominicanisms?

They look so freaking stupid especially in the heights.

I can get the old timers in their 30's and beyond but someone younger than that and has been here for more than 3 years is completley ridicolous.

Those same people will proclaim who is "a dominicano de verdad y quien no lo es" but will be quick to say they dont date dominican men/women,havent been to d.r in six years and have no clue about current events in the country infront of even strangers.

Most of us are married and have kids with puerto ricans anyways.We're so Dominican yet we dont even date eachother anymore.

What is the point?You cant live in two countries at once and we all know dominicans back home dont like those who were raised overseas.

When when will drop this tigueraje culture in new york?deja el barrio en el barrio tamo en neuva york,papa.

I don't know who is doing what and if it's good or not and what the complaint or question is.

You must run, not walk, if you want to have a couple of chuckles and read these posts as suggested. Watch out you don't--- your pants.

perhaps the dominicans in NY who are patriotic feel that there is more to life then NY and therefore boast of their nationality as a way of saying that NY is not the be all end all.

many immigrants / people who live between two worlds, search for something to ground them.

i think it's the "air" in the U.S....warps the mind......

LOL...guys, I sort of feel what the poster said is somewhat true...not to offend anybody but Washington Heights is a very very culturally rich neighborhood and sometimes people [of ALL ethnic backgrounds] go a bit overboard with their patriotism. now it is not BAD to love one's country but in all seriousness at least show and represent with decency and not with obscenities. I think it would be better if the generations in the US were more up to date with their country's politics [both US and DR/PR/wherever home may be], educate yourself with current events...maybe i'm just getting old [or older] but I never over did it with music, slang or what have you....though i did wrap a large flag on me as a cape once in college....LOL

[M.A.R.]

Yeah me too sorta understand.....i say almost the same things about Puertoricans, 'why do they have to wear the flag in every single piece of clothing they wear, especially around the parade time".....you know they have strollers, hats, shirts, sneakers, pens, towels, anything that you can think off with the flag......and some Dominicans are trying to catch up.......why does anyone going to the DR have to wear on the plane a Flag tshirt a flag cap and flag beeds and flag sneakers??????????? why why why

...................You already going to the DR, what is the need for that??????
