Okay, let me try.
Dominican men, those not in the tourist industry, will generally try to find a woman with similar characteristics: birth, class, education, etc. The higher up the social scale, the rarer the air, the more "picky" the selection process. You are not marrying a Grullon or a Bermudez or a Brugal, Vicini, or Peralta off the airplane!! Unless that was your 737 that just landed at PJU or STI...of course...
In the course of this selection of mates, you will find just a few "salt and pepper" matches, a few. But while the skin tones might be different, the education, social status, potentials and all the rest are on a par. So color is not an issue there.
Dominicans ARE color conscious just as blacks in the States or anywhere else are. They have racist comments that would be highly insulting, and hand gestures, too. Political jokes during the heyday of Jose Francisco Pe?a G?mez abounded, but Dominicans love political jokes, no matter how cruel or how obscene or how injurious.
After that, ANYTHING that happens on vacation has nothing to do with color. Michael said"I don't care if you are black or white" and those people at the bars and hotels are believers in that....
I happen to know a few cases of this...
So Black Women, White Women, no matter. That passport outta here is the grail!! (Ever wonder how many times we are going to say this?)....
