if i wear oversized sunglasses, bootleg holister polo shirt, and tight pants i can pass for one of them until i open up my mouth. if i have to take a taxi/moto/bus etc i usually shut up smile and nod my head and get the locals price. the tourist giveaway is the backpack, shortpants, jewelry, smartphone, and "first world" sneakers. i try to tell the black guys vacationing here this but they dont listen. even though my spanish is great my accent/delivery is what gives me away. that and i say nigga a lot, which they dont.
