Yeah that's true. Like Tego for example doesn't look continental (Indigenous mixed) at all. Neither does Roberto Clemente or Schomburg but your dad would be called a "Zambo" in Colombia.

Dad is a minority.

[pedFlicle]

Dad is a minority.

No he isn't, he's not minor, he's major!

[maliboia]

No he isn't, he's not minor, he's major!

Nice joke but I mean he is not common to see.

Not a joke, it's the truth but yeah I know what you mean.

[MidwestMadman]

Then you misunderstood me, I say minority, not minor, they have different meanings.

PRS /Doms relationships are good in the island and in the states.

[Kausilwf]

I think they are fairly good. I always get the impression that there will be a minimal amount who will decide to be assholes just for the sake of it, on both sides. For example, I had to endure how a dominican female, purposefully and knowing that there were Puertoricans around, started to say out loud how instead of ´´la isla del encanto´´ we should call it ´´la isla del desencanto´´. I dont know what impression you guys have of me in this forum but I got calle too. So I looked at the guy straight into his eyes, and so did my friends (Dominicans do know we dont play around) and he decided to tell them that it was time to leave. This happened next to a tripletera during a saturday night. It is when I see those type of attitudes that I wish to deport every singles ungrateful asshole who dares say thinks like that.

However, I consider sons of dominicans (illegal or not) that have been born in PR soil to be Puertorican and I recognize that there are plenty of honest hardworking Dominicans who even mix with the Puertorican Population. There are others, albeit a significant minority, who contribute to crime and act as sicarios. Fmaous for that are the Dominicans of La 65 de Infanteria, Monte Hatillo, Monte Park, etc.

Overall there are better relation than there are bad and I see more hybridization than anything among economically low to mid low class boricuas and Dominicans. I would recommend more integration instead of letting them settle themselves in their own guettos like they have done In Santurce, Savarona in Caguas. I would provide them with the economic tools to handle themselves given that they are hardy people, give them bussiness workshops and social counseling so that they can abandon the stigma that they impose on themselves (it does not help the relatively tense environment between them and lows class PR´s as they DO compete for resources and Space). It´s complicated. Overall, better than people think. We like Bachata (I don´t really lol ) and Mangu (I do!).

If that were true.

[doksSirmAdods]

of course its true jibaro.

[Wheldcobchoto]

of course its true jibaro.

Of course it is not, my experiences end everyday life tells the opposite.

[TeemFilla]

I dont think there are real tensions between both groups.

[CindyLavender]

I dont think there are real tensions between both groups.

Not to the extrem of killing them or anythin like but "los roces fuertes"are there.

[SergZHy67]

Of course I was merely a tourist both times I went to PR but I never felt people treat me a certain way.

You don't fit the DR stereotype here, we aren't used to see Cibao type DRs.

So it's about color then?

I genuinely liked visiting PR outside of San Juan.

[rJohutozsfds]

About color, pheno and attitude, you look similar to us, or to Cubans, so people here will confuse you for it, the Dominicans that live here are moslty of Wilfrido Vargas/Bonny Cepeda type.

[Ervntewc]

I've never seen any tensions between PR's, and DR's in my neck of the woods, though most PR's here are very Americanized, they usually don;t even speak Spanish,and they're very few off the boat PR's. The small town I live in, was mainly PR during the 70's, and 80's, when the Dominicans started arriving in the early 80's, there was some friction, between the two groups according to what I've been told, but both groups got along for the most part. I know so many PR/DR couples, and many Half PR, Half DR people, so I think the relationship is pretty good.

I am speaking here in the island, the US is another story.
