Default Stereotypes Closely Held by Dominicans?
After, a member mentioned that he thought that Dominicans assumed he was a kung-fu artist, I wondered what closely held stereotypes Dominicans have of foreigners (Americans, Italians, Canadians, Germans, Haitians, Chinese, Koreans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Whites, Blacks, Jews, "White" Dominicans, "Moreno" Dominicans...?)

You mean "Indio" Dominicans. Actually, none. There is no way to stereotype Dominicans. Go ahead, you try it!

I have one... I came across some Dominican folks (edcuated folks) who wanted to learn German. They truly believe that the German Nation will rise again... No offense to anyone, but I thought this was really strange, and really funny!

I'm sure that the German National Soccer Team will rise again in this year's World Cup!

Since the DR (Dominican related content) team will not be in Germany I am calling for the USA to pull the upset and win it all.

You can call me Homer,
