I wasn't going to go there, but I am a minority myself. I am 2/3rds Native American (Pawnee) and the rest, a lot of other things.

I'm sort of like the Tiger Woods type, more like "Carlton Banks" a little preppy.

I too am living the american dream. My Boxster is one of my rewards for my hard work.

I don't fit any of the typical stereotypes that society puts on me.

Appearing as a "mixed brother man" being native american, my recreational activities often surprise people.

I was on a swim team for 8 years growing up, I surf, I fly small planes, I skydive, scuba, I love to play tennis, I love America's Cup Regattas and sail sailboats, play lacrosse and play raquetball. My favorite thing is the shocked look on people's faces when I'm tearing up the ski slopes then join them on the lift lines where they get a real good look at me.

I too caught hell for this growing up playing all of the "upper crusty" sports instead of playing what was expected, baskeball or football.

Sorry, I didn't grow up in the "hood" nor did I disrespect anyone who did. Grandma just about beat etiquette and manners into me at a very young age which served me well in life. Grandpa showed me how to manage money and success.

We all come from various backrounds and experiences in life and we have one thing in common, a Porsche. This thread shows Porsche automobiles are the most recognizable symbol of success.
