The Brazilians in MA are not the mulattoes brazilians we are talking about. I've worked with Portuguese speaking community in this area for many years and the brazilians are mostly "white" brazilians. The DR's however in NE are of the mulattoes type, take a drive to Providence RI(southside) where there is a high concentration of them you will see DR's that for the most part look like this :

This would not even be discussed if there was not a highly noticeable overlap in phenotype btwn CV and DRs. It a known fact that when someone asks in the states what do CV's look like the first description that is give is "they look dominican".

These are the typical CV looking girls and if someone told you they were DR no one bat an eye. The only difference is that DR girls straighten there religiously which makes them look less African, while CV girls keep theirs curly.

Listen, I am Dominican and have lived up and down the East Coast from MA to NJ, I know what Dominicans look like in this area. That being said, I have no idea why you quoted me. I don't have much first hand experience with Cape Verdeans here, and to tell you the truth outside of their enclave, most LatinAmericans do not know what a Cape Verdean is. The poster Oditous made a post on their similarities and differences in this thread and he's seen both. I trust his observations based on his posting history.
Based on pics I've seen in various galleries, and other posters comments (who've seen both), the differences go much farther than just who straightens their hair to what degree (a comment that has trollish vibes, but I'll ignore it).

BTW, feel free to make your opinion known. Seems like you feel very strongly about this.
