Identity Marker

In English 101 class we read about the way people identify pit bulls as aggressive in Malcolm Gladwell Troublemakers. Identifying me you would probably say that I was a young black guy and you would be right. From that you would probably assume that I am ghetto wearing baggy pants or jeans and exceptional at playing basketball. If I then mentioned that I am Jamaican you, what would come to mind you is that I’m lazy chilling and relaxing in a hammock with palm trees and a drink, smoke weed and listen to the reggae legend Bob Marley.

  • Do I Live in the Ghetto, suburban or rural?
  • Am I the next Michael Jordan?
  • Do I smoke weed?
