I'd rather discuss their good points, like always being smiley or their innate ability to dance, etc.
Not trying to ruin your thread, but it might lead to people making some racist statements, and that would be sad, specially on this day of Christmas.
I know that you're a man of good intentions and I certainly hope I'm not offending you by saying what I just said.
It's just my opinion, nothing more.
Merry Christmas to you and lour lovely lady.

Rocky, it was meant to be a lighthearted thread. More of an amusement stuff than derogatory one! Certainly not meant to offend Dominicans or anyone else!
And you certainly did not offend me!
A Very Merry Christmas to you from the heart of freezing Europe!

A dominican street hustler will always tell you he is "un hombre serio". If you hear that from any dominican just walk away. Its' not even worth arguing the point.

Ah, I forgot another one-
When you call a chica and a guy answers her phone. Ask her who that was and what do they ALL say?...
"Oh, ese es mi primo!!!!"  (Oh, that's my cousin!!!)
Yeah, right!!!

Si
If you stop someone on the street and ask, do you know where such and such is? Most often they will say "SI", and provide instructions that include a reference that such and such is near this or that when they have no idea at all.
It's not a lie, it is just that they do not like to say "NO".

Or more specifically, they don't like to appear stupid, and to say that they don't know is harder for them than the Fonz saying he's sorry.
It's a macho thing.
That being said, I still fear that this thread is going to paint an ugly picture of Dominicans in general and is going to elicit racist remarks.
