Hey guys, so this time I go on the hunt for real peoples' answers, asking them if they think Dominicans are racist. Check out their shocking answers in this video! What are your thoughts? comment down below!

[@tregua24]

We have historical territorial desputes with the Haitians, which has always been a problem and a threat to Dominican sovereignty. They've invaded us at least 17 times.

[@PurelyWalking]

Unfortunately yes

[@amaurylast614]

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC HAS AN INVASION OF 5 MILLION ILEGAL HATIAN PEOPLE AND THEY ARE COSUMING THE ECONOMIC RESOURCES OF OUR COUNTRY. ONU AND SOME LIBERAL POLITIAN FROM USA WANTS TO FUSION THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC WITH HAITI. THEY DON'T WANT ILEGAL HAITIAN PEOPLE IN THE FLORIDA STATE. HAITIANS ARE BURNING OUR FORESTS FOR MAKING CHARCOAL TO BE USE AS ENERGY. THE DOMINICAN PRESIDENT ABINADER IS A CORRUPT TRAIDOR AND IS LETTING ILLEGAL HAITIANS TO CROSS TO OUR COUNTRY FOR FEAR OF THE UNO AND ONGS WIHICH SEEK TO FUSSION THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC WITH HAITI. THE DOMINICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT RACIST, WE JUST WANT THAT HAITIAN PEOPLE GO BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY BEFORE WE FIGHT THEM BACK AS WE AS DOING IT FOR OUR COUNTRY. FOR THOSE LIBERAL POLITIAN IN USA, THEY HAVE TO KNOW THAT DOMINICAN REPUBLIC NEVER EVER WILL MERGE WITH ANOTHER NATION, (WHITE OR BLACK). WE ALWAYS ARE GOING TO BE A FREE NATION OR WE ARE GOING TO SINK THE ISLAND AS "JUAN PABLO DUARTE SAID." HAITIAN GET OUT OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

No you Wrong…!!! How about 35+ times. They have always been historically the agresor nation against the DR not the other way around. But the invasion has not stopped, it remains constant. The difference now is that the strategy has changed. It is now a peaceful invasion but at the rate it’s going just a matter of time before eventually they will out number the native born population.

The Haitian occupation's suppression of Dominican culture (including the Spanish language and Catholic Religion), forceful expropriation of Dominican wealth to Haitian elites, and strict policies based on labor led to growing resentment that culminated in a Dominican movement for national independence

[@greybeard5774]

Racism is a bit sensitive topic, but I guess in DR things are the same as everywhere - majority of people are not racists .. or they think so .. and some people are. The reasons for racism can be different - it comes from cultural background, personal experience or from a home upbringing .. and it's pretty difficult to get rid of it .. but on a personal level a big warm smile and a few nice words will always break the ice :))

That's because most Dominicans aren't racist and have never been racist. It's a very small minority of Dominicans that are (and they come in different colors too), so because of how few they are it's easy to avoid them. That's why Dominicans are bothered when some people say Dominicans are racist, because it includes everyone in the same bag. If they say some are, then that's no problem.

Most of the ppl who answered didn't even define the situations as being racist. They expressed prejudice and classism. Racism is based solely on feeling superior to someone due to skin tone, which none of them expressed or described in the situations they mentioned. Then the two women mentioned comments of calling someone negro or moreno...thats common terminology all over the Caribbean, including black Caribbean countries like Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, Grenada, etc. Ppl are nick named blackie, coolie, Red man, Indian, Yellow man..etc. Just like in DR they call ppl Moreno, Negro, Trigueño, Cano, Habao, Mulatta, Rubia, etc. None of that has anything to do with Racism. So the point they tried to make is moot. Im sure there's a handful of racist in DR like all over the world. But to say 70% of the DR is Racist is just IGNORANT. That woman doesn't know 70% of the Dominican population to even make such an ignorant statement.

There is racism everywhere in the world cuz that’s human innate mentality before reaching wisdom and knowledge of who we really are: We are the same specie. However, here in the DR we experience more classism. That’s because everyone excluding the 13 % white and the 8% black almost everyone is mulatto or mixed: Due to the immigration of Spanish, English, French, Arabic, Polish Buccaneers and Pirates. Therefore, people with a higher quality of life think of themselves as better, no matter the color of skin.

In order to accurately answer the question one must first understand and know the meaning of the word racism. Unfortunately after listening to the multiple responses and based on what I heard most were clueless. They are understandably confusing racism with xenophobia, discrimination, colorism and nationalism. These terms although similar and closely related, they are not synonyms most definitely not one and same. I’m not saying that there are no racists in the DR, some worse than others, but every country has their fair share and the DR is no exception. However to accuse Dominicans of racism is completely false and absolutely inaccurate. People can say what they want but had it been otherwise the DR would have never become one if not the most racially integrated country in the western hemisphere. The DR is a rare exception among few with one of the most diverse population in the world, a mixed salad, a combination of multiracial, multicultural and multiethnic people. Race is mostly a non-issue, we are not conscious about it and if it does ever come up, it is because of foreign influences who want to change or interrupt our racially homogeneous mentality

I especially love how it was almost exclusively light skinned/white ones saying they treat everyone equally when that’s clearly the case. And then people tried to say, “only to haitianos” as if you don’t get people automatically assuming you are Haitian here just for being dark skinned. And we also have the beautiful habit of saying. We aren’t racist. We don’t judge color. And in the same moment will call someone mayate without blinking an eye. Racism runs rampant here. But there is always an excuse for it. You can go out and try to go to a club. But nobody will let you in if you’re dark. But “it’s not because of your color”. It’s cause. You didn’t have the right clothes or any other excuse. And yet nobody except for people working in there will be darker skinned. The entire clientele will be white/light. But remember. We are all “hermanos”. 😂

As a Dominican, we are very happy people. We could care less about skin color. Even when we call people “mi negra” or “morena”, we do it with LOVE. There are a LOT of miss information about Dominicans specifically coming from the United States against us Dominicans simply because we have borders like THE REST OF THE WORLD. ALSO, people can’t seem to understand that Dominicans and Haitians are two different groups of people, just like Mexicans and Americans, we share the same land divided by a border. Literally north and south America is the same piece of land just divided by borders. So to say we are the same people is like saying Americans and Mexicans are the same people. NOW, as a born and raised Dominican, I grew up seeing Haitians everywhere and it is a normal thing to us, we also have a lot of Chinese people and is VERY normal to us seeing them. A weird thing would be not seeing them, they are part of who we see on a daily basis since birth. We do want people who come to the island to add positive things to the land instead of negative, we already have a lot of crime to add more to it. We want people who work and help the economy and well being of Tourists as well as our citizens but when it’s the opposite, that’s when it becomes a problem. Also, lots of miss information regarding the history if the island, a lot of made up stories out there. We are a group of happy and loving people who live by the day and some people don’t like it… we’re still Dominicans and we will still be chilling 😂 cause who can make us mad? 🤣🇩🇴

That question: If Dominicans are racist?, you will not find a conclusive or definitive answer, We have the greatest variety of races, we grew up in schools with people of all skin tones, if you notice it in the people you interview. Here people are not persecuted because of the color of their skin, other reasons of a political nature, if there has been jealousy with the Haitians for historical reasons, luckily a minority do not see Haitians as friends, but they have made great contributions with their jobs to the country. At the end of the day we understand each other and agree. What there are many International Organizations that receive funds and live by saying that we are a racist country, those issues were not important to Dominicans only now.

i lived in la RD for a few years circa 1980. i recall some apprehension from some dominicans towards haitians or who they perceived as haitians. even recall dominicans amongst fellow dominicans in which there were 2 dark skin dominicans and the one with slighter lighter complexion calling the slightly darker one an n work equivalent profanity. once in one of the government hospitals a patient said "dont let the haitian touch me" referring to a nigerian medical student that was a close friend of mine. any very dark skinned dominican with money can do anything the lighter complexion one can do if not more. another thing i recall was the fear some pregnant women had that their baby would have very dark skin. in japan no lack of places that do not allow non japanese to enter. racism? nationalism? i have fond memories of very nice people many of whom treated me like i was a member of their own family.

[@kevincastillo5139]

In general, Dominicans are not racist, but there is a part that is. What does predominate is xenophobia, this for historical reasons and cultural differences (obviously with Haitians). There is also a lot of classism in sectors of big cities like Santo Domingo. It is a classism that is sometimes mixed with racism, but classism always prevails. My mother is mulatto (like almost all Dominicans), but light-skinned, it's easy for people to think she's pure white (many people don't differentiate between races or ethnicities properly). She has suffered some class discrimination, because of where she comes from in the city. In my case, some look at me and think I'm a foreigner, something that almost never happens. In other words, there is also discrimination against people who are not dark-skinned, but not so much. But I repeat, xenophobia is what prevails. Also take into account the current context, due to the high and uncontrolled Haitian immigration, many Dominicans are upset or tired of the collapsed public system due to Haitians (which is valid). The Haitian crisis was provoked, you just have to read the news, and what Haitians say when they discuss the issue with Dominicans. In a meeting on twitter, a Haitian man told the Dominicans that they should take care of their country, since those who caused the Haitian crisis (businessman and politicians) also want to take it to the DR.

Have been to many White business establishments where they intentionally leave money by the register and walk away with hope that l will steal it .one time a woman left her purse . One time a Guy left money and went to Rest room and when he came back he counted his money and he was furious nothing was missing so he counted it again and no money missing he was disappointed the next day My Jamaican friend said he did the same thing to him but he took the money and they fought all night so he gave him Back . And l told him that was a Racist trap to get you. Also most of the time they already called police too waiting outside Incase. So racism is real they will get you while you awake or Sleeping like mosquitoes 🤠🥳😜

[@JoeBIgLotto]

In New York city l worked in a restaurant l was the Only Black guy with no business with money or register and money went missing they said it was Me so I quit . One year later they said an assistant manager did it he was on Drugs . I went to Florida l was the only black guy in restaurant money was missing they all said it was me even though I came to work with nothing in my pocket and left with nothing in my pocket and they were all 100 percent Sure this Black guy is the thief . So now I don't even work with white people if am the only Black guy because always you are the Blame or thief . Also in Florida I was walking one block to the Laundromat since I drive trucks no need for a car less than one minute walk. Some people called the police to describe me as a Black man carrying a Loot. Believe it or not Ten Police cars showed up for my dirty Laundry. Another time I had a tripod for cameras they were called that it looks like a Gun. So racism is real .

Most of the Black people in Jail today are Set up or wrongfully Convicted or deprived of a Normal financial life that leads them the wrong Part.

Dominicans are not racists. However, we are generally fiercely patriotic and might be perceived as nationalistic because of our protective stance towards our nation.
