[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shabby rich. It’s a category. Also a WASP thing. The black and Hispanic kids in our kids schools are much better groomed and their clothes are immaculate, pressed and fit well. We are in between. I am a somewhat grungy dresser. [/quote]

Because WASPs know they don't need to dress up to get ahead. My inlaws are the WASPy shabby type that are covered in horse hay and dog hair (from very expensive animals that they show) but everyone in town knows them for generations and their names and mannerisms indicate genteel Southerners. On the other hand, minorities need to dress better to be taken seriously.[/quote]

Hispanic people who can are some of the most appearance obsessed people on earth. That is true and not a negative or positive comment. See Miami. I live in a major Hispanic populated area, and clothes, houses, grooming standards (and often fitness standards) are way high for MC and up.

It’s not an insecurity thing. Like wasps can get away with it. Beauty is just rooted in culture. [/quote]
