Sayanora I will play Devils advocate I agree with what you said but how about Domincans that move to other countries do they adapt? My landlord is a Dominican that lives in Boston that cant speak english look at Washington Heights its like a little Domincan Republic the difference is also in the USA you dont really have to worry about being a target as much as here in the DR. In my country if I saw an accident where people were hurt I would stop and help here I would never do that. One thing I have learned here is that generally expats have a harder time for sure Im an expat but get mistaken for Domincan most of the times and have it a bit easier as I can speak decent spanish. I do understand the frustrations of other expats though but at least speaking the language wouyld help out alot.

There was a joke at my high school about kids robbing the Guatemalans that lived in West Palm Beach. They thought it was funny that the Guatemalans were illegal so basically always carried cash on them and were walking atms. This sort of thing happens because people don't speak the language and don't associate with the right people. I will completely agree that an expat will have a harder time than a Dominican most of the time because of the language barrier. Also, by virtue of skin color and floral bermuda shorts, some expats shout "rip me off" at every corner.
