It's just formal etiquette. Think of it as equivalent of Roman salute.

Maybe it's another way of expressing their 'We're not British'...

The darker their soul the whiter their teeth

Americans whiten their teeth because

 

a) it's the one aspect of whiteness they still have

b) it's anti-British

c) america is fake and gay and this is just cosmeticism

d) all of the above

Due to its widespreadness is getting your teeth bleached really cheap in the USA? I can't say I know hoe much it costs in Germany, but I don't think most public insurances are covering it so people probably don't really do it. Although I think I see many native Germans with rather white teeth, but I am not sure if they somehow 'did' something. I wonder what the normal tone of color for teeth is whem you brush 2x times a day and drink coffee in the morning and maybe some tea here and there.

Additionally I wonder if US expats living in Germany still get their teeth bleached and therefore maybe introducing the normalization of those pearl whites.

Consider this:

1. Success is overwhelmingly determined by your looks

2. You only have one life

imo its actually something an SJW should rant about.

 

Like this:

 

 

CULTURAL APPROPRIATION, THEY IMITATE THE CONTRAST ONLY NEGROES HAVE NATURALLY

No it's overwhelmingly to do with states and other groups targeting you or not.

i was raised with the concept that all vanity is sinful and yet parents still lied to me and told me i was getting braces for the sake of medical reasons. teeth are ridiculous here yeah but i figured its like that everywhere

How do they do it? Do they go to get a bleaching every other month? Could a US-American cheerleader ever fall in love with me or a European if their teeth aren't pearl white?

crooked teeth = fooked up chewing

 

srsly m8

it is only unnatural in intense lighting and when you capture it still photo, but if you talk to a person like that in normal lighting condition, you wouldn't even notice anything
