I normally don’t watch anything about fox however this one is very recommendable when it comes to something about DR 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

[@petermorla8309]

It is very inaccurate for the Dominican woman stating we are from the black diaspora. Dominicans are an ethnic group that emerge on the island post 1492 as the result of admixing. Like many Latin American countries our interpretation of culture is idiosyncratic. From example in North America black for the AA ethnic group is used as a cultural identifier. In the Dominican diaspora; Quisqueyano, cibaoeño, dominicano, dominicana are our cultural identifiers. Implying someone who is an inhabitant of or someone who is of a particular country or region of origin.

Domincans are not an ethnic group & the majority of Dominicans are black & would be considered black in North America & Europe

Yeah, Dominican dont have to explain anything to anyone. White Dominicans and black Dominicans dont have any issue with race, we are just Dominicans. We dont put a tag to our race. This get people upset, but its what its.

The first Dominicans settled in the Lower East Side during the late 1800s and early 1900s. As early as 1874.

LOL at the “light skinned latina” that identifies as “black” .

She knows that she has ancestry from Africa and admits it unlike a lot of Dominicans.

@@metalmami7862 We're super mixed and that's what I indentify as. I don't look black, white or like a native Taino...if anything I look South Asian. Why would I say that I'm just Black? If I said I was black you would probably think I was crazy and tell me to drive a cab or open a 711.

“The 60s was & began a larger migration of Caribbean migration” Yeap because of black Americans!! Changing immigration laws !! You’re welcome

[@SR-pb6wf]

The first person of Dominican descent to migrate into what is now known as the United States was sailor-turned-merchant Juan Rodríguez who arrived on Manhattan in 1613 from his home in Santo Domingo.[3] Thousands of Dominicans also passed through the gates of Ellis Island in the 19th and early 20th centuries.[4] The most recent movement of emigration to the United States began in the 1960s, after the fall of the dictatorial Trujillo regime.

What about it? Go spark a dobbie and open a cold one while "spitting facts" or "politic" with people as bitter pessimist like you. If you noticed this clip speaks on people making difference on those issues unlike you culture who no doubt add to the misery.

Most Dominicans do not speak English.
