How did I guess this is eventually where this guy was going? Ellos estan obsesionados con LatinAmerica.

Go on..nadie quiere tacobell.

We all have african strains... even the whitest europeans... a sub-sahara gene of some kind!

35% is not far fetch if you're including Haitians into your list... but you shouldn't since Dominicans and the constitution doesn't count them as citizens!

^^^That may be true Carlos, but Juan looks like he's a quarter black, he's not black but he's not white either, he's what a REAL mulatto is supposed to look like. If someone has dark skin, tight curly hair, and no noticeable non-black features, he is black.

50% for blacks is too high... When am in DR, wherever i am at i have notice that we are mostly mulattos. 10% white seems about right

Americans and other foreigners tend to take their views and force them on others. Thats how the conflicts and problems come about. People HAVE To understand that theres a difference of cultures and not everyone goes by the one drop rule. Beyonce is considered black but in Brazil, Venezuela or even Colombia, she'd be considered mixed race or mulatta. That's just how it is, you can't just show up and tell these people that your view of things is correct and theirs is wrong. Deep down, we all know Beyonce is mixed but thats totally ignored in the US while in Latin America it isn't. Mr. thread starter, tacobell, don't place your views on others because im sure you wouldn't except it if others came to you doing the same.

The following are various examples of what is most commonly considered white, black & mixed in DR:

Indio (neither black or white):

None of the people in these pics would be considered black or white in DR. One of the members of Aventura could possibly be called 'el morenito'.

Whenever I'm in Santo Domingo which is far from Haiti, I see alot of black dominicans. I've seen more black dominicans than I've seen black cubans and apparently, they both have 10% black populations. Which country is lying to themselves here?

Actually, Guerra is what an octoroon would look like, as are the others that you classified as "real mulattoes". Mulatto simply means a person of mixed african and european ancestry, which means that features among mulattoes are going to vary between the two extremes. A true mulatto in the strictest sense of the word would be the current American president, Obama, who has one pure white and one pure black parent and if you notice he looks more african than those that you classified as "real mulattoes".
