Well,

Often when inter marriage happens between a Haitian and Dominican it is not broadcast due to of course the known stigmatized resentments and stereotypes but given that I have lived in DR growing up I have seem it all the time.

Or keep in mind that there is always a sense such couple often having to want to relocate to new "barrios o ciudades" soon after they marry so their such harmony would not be scrutinized. By the way, in intermarrying in DR there are much to consider culturally fused with traditionally class dynamics often play a major role. in the elite upper class level, intermarriages between Haitians and Dominicans happens everyday.

Especially those Haitian tourists men/women (Diasporas) from the USA whom may have once visited DR and have found themselves wives or husbands. To not also forget that often we have several of those couple who at times are well off and moved back to Haiti while owning properties in DR. Often, Dominican women would later find out of their spouse's ancestral background to have been of Haitian heritage due to mislead pretexts of appearance that some Dominicans often assume if one is light skinned therefore he or she may not be Haitian.

For example: As a Dominican-Haitian couple, If we are newlyweds new to a neighborhood and are culturally fluent constant Spanish speakers in our household... Who is going to assume that we are Dominican-Haitian intermarrying couple?

I would agree with you afro on this one, USADR your argument is full of hole and rather preposterous and serve to stir up controversies when there are none, your ignorance bliss throughout and your subliminal message well understood. 2 countries that share a common border one have been inter-mingling wronlgy or rightly in the other one affair over 200 years, you are saying relation, marriage or concubinage is rare, please provide us with the statistics, I will gladly recant I will venture to say the inter relation it's probably much higher, if we factor in the border town, if you were to google "border countries" you will see a high inter-relation among the population of the border town unless DR and H are exempted. I personally meet these folks during my stay in Montreal

And my personal opinion on the matter, being a Dominican that DOES come from San Juan and realtives from Las Matas all the way to Elias Pina and Banica is that I never saw a marriage or a Dominican/Haitian couple. The only thing I saw on rare occasion is a Dominican male impregnate a Haitian female on the side and there was a stigma attached to to it. That's the complete un-pc truth and the Haitians on this forum who travel to DR cannot deny this. AfroLatino is posting with his feelings.

Precisely (lol).

My job is to allow people to see which contents I am responding to and the actual posters can remain anonymous since it is the content we are debating not directly the poster him or herself. That is our problems, we often want to know the posters so we could engaged on direct personal ranting attacks of disagreement. This is not a scholarly paper where I have to give credit to actual posters, but if I do post or reply directly to their quote I do, but if I do not, it is not as if I am writing my response considering TuPapaupa migh want to know my sources (lol ha hah).

I will try to post you name next to you quotes "Oh great one: (lol)!
