Hahaha, FYI, they don't have to remind us because we are the ones that proudly remind them where we come from and what we are. We remind them that we are Dominicans and come from the land of beautiful beaches, swaying palm trees to the rhythm of Merengue, motherland of great baseball players, America's cradle and spirited people with beautiful smiles even when there isn't any food to eat.
Some of us even display our flag everywhere to remind them and showcase our dominicanism. I even make my accent more prominent to sound even more dominican.
And you know another thing that makes me proud? when we meet others from a different parts of the world, ask where one is from and the excitement on their faces when they hear you say Dominican Republic and that they have visited there and loved it so much and how they enjoyed the warmth and the smiles of our people.
One thing that is joyful but at the same time sad to say is the time I was talking to a US Marine who once I told him I was Dominican, perked up with excitement to tell me how him and his buddies used to drive their Humvees to the other side of the border into DR. And how people would smile to them and how much they felt welcomed. He said it was sad that it was the opposite in Haiti where they felt not welcomed and talked how mean the Haitians were to them even when they were there to help them, not the dominicans. Even when they walked into a restaurant he told me how it was a privilege to those people to have them eat there and would not even let them pay for their meals.
His quote "it's ironic that the country that we were not there to help was where we felt welcomed".
If being proud of our country and being Dominican is viewed by you a superiority complex, then let "superiority complex rule""
And to ruffle your feathers a little. Most Haitians such as yourself hate Dominicans because we are not as racists as many of you guys are toward other races, specially whites. And yeas, we claim all three.
Arriba DR!!! para que te mate.
