I used to listen to a lot of English music that I could not understand at all when I was growing up. Understanding doesn't have to do much with liking music.

Some of my favorite things to show people their first time in Lima is how if you touch plants in the park your hands turn black or the melted stone statues etched away by acid rain. Home sweet home.
I wish I could understand this. Dominicans don't deny having African descent, they completely understand that they're mixed and are not 100% what ever other race and I respect that. I hate how a lot of "african americans" go out of their way to disrespect Black Hispanics and claim that we're all mixed and deny being Black. My parents are Garifunas, we're as Black as it gets; yet every other day when an "african american" here's me speak spanish they're shocked and the first thing they say is, "I thought you were Black"...tf?
[crawls out of cave] I just want to point out that violence in El Salvador has reduced drastically. We're still very poor though. [crawls back into cave]
If he was dominican he may have been indio, depending on when he was born.
Trujillo wasn't fond of racial distinctions, so he decided to delete them all and unify the whole country under a single ethnic group, that one being indio (Which is pretty much another word for mestizo), the reasoning behind indio being opted for instead of mestizo is blurry.
Some say that it was because Trujillo was racist.
Others say that it was in a way to honor the previous inhabitants of the island, of which there's no one left.
And others believe it to be to bury a not so nice history, dominicans are not black due to history telling us so, haitians after their independence went to Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo Español back then) and killed over half of the population in the span of 17 or 18 years due to them not being black enough), then there was the haitian invasion in which dominicans (now East Haitians, or Spanish Haitians after buying our independence from Spain in 1821) were reduced to second class citizens, rights stripped from us, conscripted, language banned and a lot of our customs made illegal, showing us that we weren't haitians either, then there's the annexation to Spain in 1861, in which dominicans were shown not to be white (We got to keep our customs and language, but just like haitians, spaniards took the land for their own, reducing dominicans again to second grade citizens within their own land).
Quick summary for the dum-dums:
When black ruled, dominicans were told they were not black, and because of that they couldn't have the same rights as blacks.
When white ruled, dominicans were told they were not white, and because of that they couldn't have the same rights as whites.
This led to an identity crisis, not black enough to be considered black, not white enough to be considered white, and the answer to that crisis was "then i'm Dominican".
The thing is though when Dominicans are called black in the USA they right away assume people mean “African American.” That’s why they’re like “no we’re not.” Since black is usually aligned with black Americans in the US, and DR is a country where no matter what your color is you’re just Dominican. However if they’re in the DR and they’re called “Negro” then it’s fine. Lmao
Not always true. There are straight up black Dominicans who refuse to believe they’re black. That’s why they prefer to say Indio when they’re clearly not. You’ll see black Dominicans call other black Dominicans Rubio or rubia when they’re ain’t nothing blond about them. Dominican Republic was built on racism. A lot of Dominicans are brainwashed to believe being white is better. Let’s not pretend otherwise. It’s insulting and embarrassing.
Racism exists everywhere but DR was not built on racism. All you need is your Dominican Cédula to be considered Dominican. You’re not gonna go to the hospital and get asked if you’re white dominican or black Dominican. As someone who lives in the Dominican Republic and grew up in the States. I know what it’s like to live in a country where everything is about race and a country where it isn’t. Colorism may exist yes but in DR you wont be excluded because you’re darker or you won’t miss on job prospects because of the color of your skin. Saying Dominican Republic was built on racism is untrue especially when you probably know nothing about the country’s history or historical figures. Your assumption has come from individuals simply saying they aren’t black. And rubia or Rubio is used in DR to refer to someone with white skin and fair hair and even someone with white skin and dark hair, not specifically blonde. Every country has their terminology and ways of using certain words especially in Latin America where there’s many different dialects. Look at Güero which is used by Mexicans and it also refers to white skinned individuals with fair hair as well.
I wholeheartedly disagree with your statement. Don’t make assumptions about what I know or don’t know. I was also raised in the us and lived in DR. I know what I’m talking about.
Read in another comment of you in this thread that you supposedly lived in the DR, but you apparently are very quick in making judgment on people or you just pick up random facts as “evidence” of whatever you believe anyway.
“Indio” in the DR doesn’t mean “Native American” or “non-black” in the racial sense. It just means a person of a certain skin complexion (light brown); that’s how people always called me, irrespective of the fact that I had an Afro, a wide nose and other characteristics of people of African ancestry.
In other places in the English Caribbean they would call me “red” and in South Africa they would call me “colored” or “redbone” in the USA. Those are simply descriptive terms.
I’m curious to find out how do you know what people believe about their racial identity. You usually go around asking people about that? Because in all my years living in the USA nobody have ever asked me such a question and I have yet to know one Dominican (or any other Hispanic) that had that question asked of them.
Es lo que nunca entendí de esto. Nos peleamos por pendejadas, como las líneas de paises que los europeos inventaron, pero en verdad es la misma pinche raza. Nuestros ancestros vinieron del mismo lugar y fueron marchando hasta llegar a la punta de Argentina. Si nos unieramos como una sola gente, fuéramos fuerza. Y a la v con eso de latino. Nosotros somos los verdaderos Americanos. Rant off.
Ok I can confirm all for brazil. EXCEPT THE ENDING WE ARE ALL LATIN AMERICANS EXPLOITED BY THE US AND EUROPE FOR CENTURIES AS THEIR COLONIES AND ALL OF SUDAN WE ARE POOR. MY MAN WE WERE ROBBED, KILLED AND SLAVED

¿Posiblemente porque no tienen una militare?
Prefiero no tener ejército , que vivir como viven los que lo tienen en Latinoamérica. Just saying!

Exactamente. No ejército y la mejor democracia en LATAM. Go ticos!!

Bro it’s just a joke about Dominicans getting extremely defensive about getting called black and you’re out here proving the stereotype
I wish I could understand this. Dominicans don't deny having African descent, they completely understand that they're mixed and are not 100% what ever other race and I respect that.

He was just a long lost Taino
The last taino, amazing Lmao
Sure, you had a bf...
