Many Dominicans will say foreigners appear and act arrogant and I have a tendency to agree. After all this is a "third world" country right with mostly an inferior system and people, right?

They are arrogant. You can always pick out the foreigner based on personality alone. As for me I stay humble and get out and make friends with the locals.

And a lot of Dominicanos hate the fact that pretty women gravitate to and marry foreigners. I always hear the comment that " you would not be with him if he wasn't a rich white guy".

As a Dominican living in a American society, the constant and public mouth wide open burping I find irritating and disgusting, but I don't mention anything as I'm an outsider.

I don't think they like the fact we are all millionaires and don't seem to work for it.
That seems to be something even the wealthy people dislike about us.

Are you saying all Americans go around with their mouth open burping?

Bad body odor

Especially the cold climate Europeans who come here. They are used to not bathing as often as the weather is cold. Here they start sweating the second they get off the plane. Apparently do not realize in a hot climate a daily shower with soap is necessary. Its really bad in the gym where one gringo can stink up the whole place. Dominicans see them as dirty people. You know what I mean if you ever stood next to one in the grocery store line.

Yeah first one is definitely body odor, somehow they forgot they left snowy Canada or Ice laden Sweden to tropical, hot, humid and sweaty DR and only take a bath twice a week.

Second one is the arrogance or condescending attitude. Ex. AnnaC a couple of posts up.

Third is wearing short pants everywhere as if they were kids.

This is a quick generalization so not every foreigner is like that. Lando and Bachata can provide us with more material.

The perception that ALL AMERICANS are stinking rich. The constant TIPPING. The loose bario chica on each arm. Cheap spanish, cocky attitudes.

And my favorite........having to constanly say "no problemo"

When you KNOW, they're just bowing down......to the almighty "gringo"

My wife says the most annoying Canadian habit is " they sorry about everything " even when they don't really mean it. The only Canadians that don't shower every day are the immigrants from certain countries.
