Intellectual dishonesty is on full display here. Arguing a point that nobody made. FYI, I am the only Jamaican in this thread. I have not made any of the points that you are alleging. Reine hasn't made any of those points either. You are also misrepresenting CaribNY. Your issues with CaribNY have nothing to do with this thread.
You keep stating points that everybody else already agrees with. Also, if you don't like anecdotes, stop using them yourself. You like to put words in people' mouths and then argue against those fake opinions. You are essentially debating yourself. There is nothing more to be gained intellectually from this thread in its current form.
I still think the question of whether or not the DR is more similar to Bolivia or TnT is an interesting one. For some reason you don't (you stated your opinion but didn't address it after being challenged). But then again you said you don't care about the Anglo Caribbean (in spite of your numerous posts in this Anglo Caribbean thread).
On point.
To be honest, I actually was replying out of boredom but it really is pointless now.
This topic could allow for some interesting discussion for those of us who are interested in the Caribbean and Latin America on a whole though, such as the T&T/DR/Bolivia discussion.

Quite true..I am still pondering which one DR would be more similar to...wish I knew someone that has been to all 3 countries for their perspective

I have no problem with my opinion being challenged. I can defend it if is challenged. But this is a public forum, and of course I don't expect people to always agree with me.
How can you make this comparison when you admit to not visiting or being interested in the non Hispanic Caribbean ?
Because I have been to a number of Hispanic nations, including the Spanish Caribbean.
I've seen no evidence from official sources or even anecdotal from Latinos or Latin Americans themselves that there's this massive identification or similarity to the Anglo Caribbean.

You are able to comment on the non-Hispanic Caribbean because you have been to Hispanic countries? Does that make sense to you?

Basically everyone in this thread believes that the non-Latino Caribbean and Latin America are distinct from each other.
No one is arguing that there is any massive identification or similarity.
I made it clear from my initial response. Apparently, you have difficulty reading or are desperate for attention.

And there goes the plausible deniability out the window...for someone who hates CaribNY so much, its funny that you wouldn't stop until you proved his accusations against you correct...your inherent bias and hatred of Anglo Caribbeans is now fully exposed...you are on troll status now Boss
