New Underpants Law in DR.
Actually, this is not "especially prevalent" in Hispanic and Black communities. I have seen all groups, except Native Americans, engage in this nonsense across the socio-economic spectrum. Further, Black and Hispanic communities are not monolithic. Those with whom I associate would not be caught dead dressing like that for the very reason that gave rise to the false statement.
It's a social statement as much as purple hair and nose rings. Those who feel alienated choose to look the part I guess.
I think it is more prevalent in those communities so I don't believe it is a false statement, but you are right that any man past 14 that thinks it is cool to wear pants showing his boxers has stopped maturing.
And I would not associate with any man of any color who wore his pants like that - so I would say none of my friends with whom I associate would be caught dead wearing that style either.
The first statement is a non sequitur. The second statement casts an interesting worldview. Try this: I would not associate with anymore who wears pants like that. Why restrict it to men of color. My initial statement was not restricted to one group.
Right on.
Always someone trying to imply racist motives. And when anyone prefaces their comment with "non sequitur" from the Latin language you know they are trying to puff...

many english words in common usage are derived from latin roots. the fact that they can be traced to that language does not make them exotic.
There was recently enacted such a law, but in North Carolina. It was also covered by DR press. Maybe someone just didn't read the location properly. So yes there is such a law but probably not in the DR. I was not able to Google anything that would be related to the DR. Only North Carolina and Louisiana coming up in search results.
I believe they know. That's the point of them looking that way. That and ensuring numerous opportunities to decry the public ridicule/false discrimination such an appearance elicits in others. If it didn't promote some sort of reaction, they probably wouldn't do it.
Yet another example of a way to easily identify those who have conformity and/or potential personality issues. Note: I accept that people may choose to present themselves anyway they choose. I just do not believe that everyone else "has" to accept outrageous appearance as normal and something deserving of carte blanche acceptance.
No and seguir is derived from it but it still sounds pompous

I don't quite understand (as a gay man) why it's considered completely acceptable for women to walk around with their bras showing, or wearing trousers so tight you can see their hemorrhoids, but when a guy shows his boxers we need a law to ban it. A lot of Dominican men have really nice bodies, the more on show the better as far as I'm concerned. Come on girls, back me up on this.
Seriously, well, I cannot see the sexy part when a man show his crack but, please do tell us more?
