I am alarmed about the anti gringo attitude frequently expressed by the Dominicans who post on this board. This is new to me as a long time foreign visitor and resident of the DR.
Most of these posts appear to come from Dominicans who abandoned their country to live in the USA. An exception is the individual who makes his living from tourists and the tips they give him. I hope that this attitude does not degenerate to the point that it has in Jamaica and several other islands.
Fortunately, the real Dominicans, the ones still living and working in the DR, don't appear to share this negative attitude about foreigners.
From poverty to sex with children, the flamers on this board are quick to heap the blame on the tourists. For some reason the Americans are first in line for the abuse. The abandoned single mothers in their teens that I have met here were not deflowered or impregnated by tourists but by Dominican men. Give the tourists a break. All the DR's problems are not their fault.
Let's learn to live together and work constructively to improve things in the DR instead of blaming each other. Tremendous progress has been made here because the DR has been hospitable
to foreign tourists and investors. Why spoil it?
