I agree with you, Zeb. I am disappointed that a UF professor would buy into that stereotype. My brother is married to a Latin woman, and she is probably the most modest dresser among us... and is extremely strict about what she allows her daughters to wear.

I wonder if the professor's statement is even true. I'm married to a latin woman with a sister, a mother, 6 aunts and countless female cousins. I've seen nothing in 19 years of marriage to suggest that latin women dress more provocatively than any other ethnic group. To be frank - I think the opposite might be true, the actions of Ines Sainz notwithstanding. I suppose more provocatively than the Amish, or a woman wearing a burka, would be true but other than those types of examples, I would say no. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
