ORIGINAL: caitlyn Lot of us have seen this I bet ... if you take a white guy and put him with four brotha's, within five minutes he will be speaking ghetto ... crummy ghetto mind you, but ghetto none the less. Keep in mind, that even if the Brotha's he is with aren't speaking ghetto ... he will still be speaking it. Does this happen with other people. If you take an oriental guy and put him with some Italians from New York, will he start saying things like, "Hoow aaah yuuu dowin' round eye?" That's an interesting one... i'm REALLY bad about picking up other people's accents when i'm talking to them... my wife always makes fun of me afterwards. Not just "ghetto", but rural Southern (and though i couldn't explain the difference, i can guess the state about 4 times out of 5), English, Scottish, Indian... i don't do it intentionally, but i suspect one of these days it's going to get me an ass-kickin' [:o] The only other person i know who does it is another white male... maybe it's our search for a unique identity in a culture that tells us we're too generic? [8D] As far as tanning goes... a moderate tan tends to make the skin look more uniform, hide veins, make pores stand out less, will "bleach" body hair so that it becomes less evident against the darkened skin... but i do agree with the philosophy that people want what they can't have, so a tan person stands out in a sea of flourescent slugs, making one assume that they're prosperous enough to have lots of leisure time. i've been seeing more and more white girls with ass lately... however, i am still far too Caucasian to be allowed on the dancefloor. [:'(] Redheads are much sweeter than people give them credit for, just don't leave them out in the sun.
