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.

Who cares if Latin America knows what CV is, that not the point.
I happen to be a CV in the states and am very familiar with the phenotype here. I live in an area that's highly DR and PR.
I grew up with with DR's PR's and CV's so I'm talking what I know. I corrected you because I know your Brazilian comment was wrong. Call it trolling whateva...it's the truth. Many groups overlap in looks it does not mean anything, it's just part of being human and sharing similar history and lineage.
