And yet, you react as if the possibility that belief is going to change is very real because on some internet board someone brings to light an old study with an interesting result. What are you so afraid of?You would like to think that but in reality everyone who lives in the DR knows that lighter is preferable to darker for the majority.
You just cannot get away from it.
That is colourism.
Period.
Keep coming up with threads to show that this is not true if you like but nobody is drinking the Kool-aid.
I love the DR and I love Haiti in a bitter sweet way, so what?
But you are not Haitian.

Argumentum Ad Populum
But who were these questions being asked of?
Asking a black person if they'd have aproblem with a family member wouldhave different results than asking a WASP,I'd assume, so who were the responders in this phony poll?

OP explains it was 1,200 Dominicans who were polled. In DR. In 1995. Lots of water under the bridge in 17 years.....
That book is even older than the initial pollmade in 1995. From the 40s or so wasn't it? I know I read it before 1980, and it wasn't new then.
What's absurd is people who don't speak the language living here or abroad opining on this topic.
silly. what's spanish got to do with it? it's absurd that non-dominicans take part, maybe, since it was dominicans who were polled and it's their opinion that counts.What's absurd is people who don't speak the language living here or abroad opining on this topic.

silly again. what does it matter what language you use to discuss the subjects? plenty of dominicans who speak perfect english/german/french and can hold a conversation with an inquiring gringo. but wait, i forgot, a gringo who speaks no spanish is a piece of trash who has no right to be here, no?
silly, silly, silly. there is probably a handful of gringos who arrived here already speaking spanish. they learnt the language and cultrure as they went. your constant silly pushing on how you speak espany and how other gringos don't and how you have a right to speak and other gringos don't is just silly.
and it's cerveZa, perfect spanish speaking smartypants.
