resposes, so this is what I think in general. Dominicans are a mashed of things. I don't mean that in the sense that all types of people live here, but the fact that the bulk of dominicans have a mash of races within their blood running through their veins. Take me for example. My Granparents from my mother were all white. My granmother from my father was white, but my grandfather from my father was black dominican but really a mulatto because his mother was white. My father (looks black but really mulatto) married my mother who is a white dominican. Then I was born with all these white and black blood. The other day I read an article that said that 7 out of every 10 of the 300 dominicans whom took part of the investigation had some traces of taino blood. TAINO BLOOD, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. This was done by some american science company. So, how can a dominican chose one race and deny the other. Sure, many declare themselves more on the white side than black, but they can't deny the heritage they have in their blood. Plus, with all this Taino traits that every foreigner thought it was an imagination of dominicans to "ignore their african roots" may turn out to be true after all. Maybe most dominicans are Indios claros or Indios Oscuros. I have also read that dominicans define good hair with that of white people and bad hair with that of black people. Before I ever read such thing (by a foreigner I might add) me (a dominican) always thought that good hair was hair easy enough to comb and bad hair was hair that people have to almost break war with to get a simple hairdo. So, all of this racial bolony stuff is low in the part of anyone that actually brings it up. Regardless of your race, you are dominican. Eat your platano, dance merengue, and live life to the fullest because yesterday is gone and tomorrow never come. DOMINICAN Y CON ORGULLO DE SER DE LA TIERRA DE DUARTE, MELLA, Y SANCHEZ. VIVA LA PATRIA!!! And all those racist people trying to paint dominicans as racist when in fact they are not, should look at themselves before judging anyone else. Anyone that want to criticize me do it, but this is how I think and this is how many if not most dominicans think!!!
