stereotypes

I guess I was wrong when I said that I'd blog more often in NY than in Miami, however it wasn't intentional; if I had a laptop or if the city were less expensive then I would have frequented an Internet cafe somewhere near me so that I could blog. Also if parks had Wi-Fi, I would have most definitely blogged at least twice in one day, but...that didn't happen so. Whenever I was out and about in the city, my brain was just soaking it all up, the sights, the smells (good and bad), the temperature and my racing thoughts traveling through my mind as fast as the train. One thing I did notice, once I would get home tired, but content after being out all day was that I didn't see as many Hispanic/Latinas in any of the financial districts that I would wander through. The only time I would see my fellow ethnic race was in the subway stations. Women of Dominican, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Colombian descent. And these women of all ages were dressed appropriately in regards to the weather. The one thing I did notice was that the women that I did see in these business/financial areas were the ones dressed more fashionably geared rather than climate appropriate. I guess it made sense since at this particular moment I was by Bryant Park, however these women seemed to sacrifice warmth for style.
Thanksgiving was the one day where I saw an extreme stereotype being fulfilled right before my eyes. While on my way to see my family I was in the subway waiting for the train, and a Mexican family (I know they were Mexican because of the Spanish accent) were waiting for the train to take them to the parade so that they could sell cotton candy.

I'll just leave that image there so that whoever (if there is anyone that does read my blog) reads this will interpret it as they wish.
