sighh its funny you never hear white latin americans say this. the "mix" and some of the "black" dominicans are delusional. and they DONT know their history.
Honestly speaking... NO, never hear that from them. I don't even know much of them thought.
There's another thread where this was amply discussed and cleared up. How about going over there and read everything that has been posted, good and bad.
BTW, I'm glad more Dominicans are taking DNA tests to discover their origins. The mixed race nature of most Dominicans is visible on their faces for anyone that actually puts attention.
Oh okay sorry i didn't know bro, if you know the thread sent it to me.
Oh yeah that's good to hear too. Even though yes many Dominican know their origins they just don't taalk about it. Yeah if you pay attention and a person come to the North East, he will noticed it.
According to recent genealogical tests, the average Dominican is estimated to be 58.1% Caucasian, 35.2% African, and 6.4% Indigenous Amerindian overall
As i have been reading some posts here. I have found out the same pattern in other Web such as Yahoo answer asking about Dominican being in denial or self hate.
Am Dominican and I have been with Dominican my entire life. I was born in D.R. until the age of 12 when I move here to the U.S. I have been going back and ford to DR for 10 years. Yet I learned about us Dominicans hating ourselves or being in denial LAST YEAR(4 quarter) in a Youtube video made by African Americans.
This surprised me because I have NEVER in my life experience such thing around Dominican of the so call "self hate" and "being in denial". Topic about "race" is not something Dominican speak about since most Dominicans just don't care. Because Dominicans see a White Dominican as the same as a Black Dominican or a Mix Dominican. We are the same no matter skin color. It's also such a double standard with Dominicans. I usually found A.A. on the web saying how they always see Dominican having "self hate" issues and it's like if they find them on a daily basic yet i have NEVER spoke to those kind of Dominicans, even though all my life i been with Dominicans. Like i said there is this double standard with Dominican. I always ask people in Youtube: why don't you go ahead and ask any Dominican: ARE YOU WHITE? and see the 95% of them will tell you: NOOO AM NOT WHITE, AM DOMINICAN. Does this mean Dominicans are White Self haters?
Probably because of the history of treatments of blacks in the DR. Also from what I have seen personally Dominicans can vary. Some do not deny their blackness and have black friends, and some do deny their blackness and have some issues with blacks.
The Dominican topic is rather confusing and I tend to ignore it all together. My parents are Haitian but I see the problem with the two nations more presently ethnical then racial.
I read this wrong. ! But I don't think Dominicans have exceedingly African names compared to any group. I've been to DR and never noticed it. Dominicans in America have all types of names but I have never came across a Kofi or a Ayodele in Puerto Plata or S.D.
Perhaps it's my experience. I've NEVER met anyone in PR with a Nigerian name so I was a bit taken aback by it in DR... But a good group of them had names I've never heard before... African or non-African. I added *some* of them on Facebook so I'll take a look again later.

Why this subject comes up so much I don't know. I doubt if Black Americans really care what you call yourselves? Sound like your trolling to me.

Some Dominicans have this uncanny ability to turn later in life. Here's an example...
I have NEVER in my life meet a Dominican who did the same ish this guy did.
Sammy Sosa was the laughing stock in D.R. and we all made fun of him.
People made comedy and even music about him. LOL
hahaha he lost many Dominicans respected for that action.
Shame about Sammy. He was pretty sexy before he did that to himself....
