I like the fact that Dominicans are always receptive of the disapora. They don't see us as a burden but an extension of the Dominican country. Like Lautauro said, the lost sons and daughter. When we are in DR, we are treated like we are at home!!

There is racism in the DR......White Dominicans look down on the rest, black and mixed dominicans look up to the whites and mixed dominicans look down on the blacks. Do you really think whites, blacks and biracials live in harmony in DR? All in latin america there is racism towards the ones with more melanin, it isn't some nationalist paradise like you make it out to be. Send Pena Gomez and Hipolito Mejia to Mexico or some parts of South America and see who will get better treatment.

He says that "dominican racism prepared me for the one that I would face in the US". When I read that the first time I was like WTF? That's the most nonsensical and bullshit opinion that I have ever read someone utter in my entire life. Benedict Arnoldism at its finest.

Mr Lautaro and Cibaeno, would you have any outtakes from Junot's book that i could check on the web, or do i have to buy the book? actually, i will buy the book, but could use an immediate fix, if it is available

Lautaro previously said:



I was educated here on the DR, but I have done my share of journeys over the years (US, Brazil, Panama, Europe, etc.), and believe me, nothing can be compared with the humilliations and degradation that the US one drop rule can bring. Some of my best buddies has been traumatized for life by this nonsensical pseudo-ideological BS.

antonioj previously said:


Thank you for responding, how would you characterize your experience living abroad USA versus Europe?. I envy you to have spent time in europe, I must say we are very fortunate to have you, dread ciby and all the others that have decided to call DT home, a tool to learn and share the dominicans, history culture and the many point of view that exist out there.

And no she isn't an afro centrist who thinks all Dominicans are black, she is simply talking about the racism she experienced there.

Lautaro,


do you have any articles. I' d like to see the correlation that he makes. Racism here is different than anywhere else (IMO).
