For Dominicans who either live in DR or travel their often, I got this question asked on another forum :

-How common is dating between Dominicans and Haitians?
-How common is marriage between Dominicans and Haitians?
-How common are mixed Dominican/Haitians in DR?
-How common are Haitians becoming citizens?
-Are Haitians becoming absorbed into the Dominican mainstream society, or is it more similar to the Bahamas in which they make up a distinct ethnic minority?

Dating and marriages between Dominicans and Haitians are very common, but not openly nor proudly broadcast. Quite commonly but not to greater extent beyond the known fact that yes, Haitian still make up a distinct ethnic minority in DR. As well as to also say indeed, yes Haitians are becoming absorbed into the Dominican mainstream since most of the young generations being born there do not quite identify with so much being Haitian

Traditionally, the youngsters do not live fully the Haitian culture or value within DR whom are often perceived by many as Dominicans anyways much like naturally you would have any ethnic groups populating in the United States. Thus, it is common that there are mixed Dominican and Haitian living in DR from both ever since the old ages to understandably even today. Keep in mind, per presumptuous assumed premises that are widely misconceived that one of affluent Spanish speaking or light skinned hues are often regarded or misrepresented as not Haitians. Unless of course they lead a a given stereotypical stigmatized lifestyle that the certain common psyche of some Dominicans tend to deem, characterize or perceive as to be Haitian.

Haitians have been becoming citizens of DR since old ages to even today, however it is not your average poor migrated Haitians who gets to become citizens as such process is financially costly and often the approval process has rather been practiced under certain discriminatory discretion by granting only to those who seem to fit a certain caste of elitist social class appearance and status unlike past Dominican constitutions used to grant one such a process more deliberately.

P.S: Often the sons and daughters of the Haitian riches, politicians (to include past exiled, corrupted and even current politicians with pull) and indeed to no assuage matter of being surprised, the Haitian mixed mulattoes who have decided to reside in DR are easily get granted citizenship and merge right into the Dominican elites as almost Dominicans and never have to feel nor find it relevant to say they are Haitians.

3- Not common.......same as above,
4- Not common......Most Haitians are illegal so becoming Citizens is out of the question,
5- ABSOLUTELY NOT.......Haitians rather stick with their own.

Can you please stop repeating yourself. While your post may make sense to multiple posts here in your opinion, it could be stated only once.

And it is not VERY common, to say so is ludicrous. At that point it wouldn't need to be broadcast because you'd have all these Haitians in family lines.

TuPapaupa,

I am sorry to say you are quite wrong, but I can still agree with you only under the premise of the sense that whatever the percentage you think is or is not common falls into the category of feared social reprising disownment by some other fellow more resentful Dominican peers. That is not true that "Haitians stick to or with their own" There could not have been a more misconceived notion such as this.

If anything much like DR, there a lot of Haitians much like blacks anywhere who tend to love the idea of intermarriages with other creed with and of Europeans characteristic due to what they feel in mind society has told them to be desirable features thus the typical trendy of common societal conditioning insecurities.

Most of the Haitians that are illegals or are considered undocumented in DR are those Haitians from Haitian peasant provinces that seriously lack or let us just say "do not" have established Administrative infrastructures to be able to have the required items of documentation which would have deemed them documented on DR's soil as per DR's constitution states.

Such only required items are as follow and can be in either a combination of but not limited to, or under required possession of either, and or or:

-- A valid Haitian Identification Card.
-- A valid Haitian Passport.
-- A legitimate Birth Certificates.

As such, those documentations are required to must be recognizable by both Government institutions on the island as per agreeable foreign policies relations between the two nations do not so much "per say" claim those individuals to be illegals. That is why you see the word "Undocumented" or "In Transition" are rather often used.

Not the first nor last time someone disagrees with me........

I hope you do know that there are SOME (NOTE: "SOME" Dominicans that don't want to associate themselves with Haitians, right?.

Well, SOME (NOTE: "SOME" Dominicans, when they associate with Haitians, they get "labeled"......and since SOME (NOTE: "SOME) Dominicans do not like to be labeled, they rather stay away from Haitians........

So noooooo, it's not common to see Dominicans-Haitians marriages/dating.........perhaps they hide it......perhaps because they don't want to be "labeled".

Exactly, and besides, if those marriages were as common as he puts them, they would be really visible by now.

Instead, all evidence points out to the fact that all the efforts of the common haitian inmigrant on foot in this country are geared toward getting their sweethearts out of their afflicted country.

Trust me, during the 2004-2009 period, the majority of the haitian inmigrants on this country have been males, but there's a rising female inmigration trend going on as we speak. I consider this to be more than enough evidence to support my theory.
