Ok, this may be random, but I always wondered what was Dominican guys infatuation with white women? I live in New York now, and when I go to Washington Heights,and see a Dominican guy with a white women, he always tries to show her off like a trophy. Even famous Dominicans like Alex Rodriguez, David Orticz, Manny Ramirez,Sammy Sosa, etc married white women.
Has anybody else seen this? Please share.
Im going to take a stab at this.......... firstly this is only anecdotal;and based on my life experience with BLACK folks; I have worked 8 years hand in hand with black folks, this may be something to consider. Maybe there is similarity to the Dominican man...maybe not!!!
Thes black folks have told me this;
Within their history they were given little opportunity to progress in life and even less of a chance ( or NO chance) to actually date and marry a white woman. This was an impossibility for the black man. Thus, the 'white woman' became a treasured or highly valued dream for the black man ( personally i dont understand this desire for white women, you can have them...but i digress; i am white by the way) Now, with many black men attaining education, money, a life experience to be envied etc...what remains for the black man to attain ....what is the thing he could NEVER have ???? Right!!!! The 'white woman' If you think about it, a black man during his history in the 30's through to the 60's could not simply find, date and marry any 'white woman ' he desired .... Thus the white woman became 'valuable'... 'an unattainable piture of beauty' a wonderous image of sensuality just waiting to be plucked ( both P and F can be used interchangeably with the work plucked)
Perhaps the DR hombre views the white woman in the same way;
she is exotic looking (to him)...and we all value the exotic
she is a rarity (in the DR)
She is more wealthy than he, comparatively!
She has access to a life and level of opportunity he may never be exposed too, otherwise
Status; now ive been around the DR long enough to know that there are no shortage of DR folks that consider having a white friend a status symbol. This is my experience. (Now listen up, i did not say all DR ppl are loooking for white women for this particular reason)
Lastly, the Pamela Anderson's of this world are marketed as picture perfect beauties, or the definition of beauty; is it any wonder that a hombre would then desire her more so than one of his own. I mean she has it all ...or so He is lead to believe (try living with one...hmmmm)
Personally i believe Asians and the DR women are consistently some of the most beautiful women i have ever seen. I do not understand the fascination with white women; and trust me ive dated and worked with a few and frankly ' you can have all of 'em'...
just my thoughts
