Dominican Color/Racial Preference Findings
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?
Argumentum Ad Populum
I thought it would be clear that I meant Haitians.
I have no opinion on who Haitians should marry.
Why would I be afraid of anything, please explain....
And every time you come up with a thread you hope will show that Dominicans are blah when really they are blah, so therefore blah, blah... actually I can't be arsed...
Pay attention Derfish
OP explains it was 1,200 Dominicans who were polled. In DR. In 1995. Lots of water under the bridge in 17 years.....

Derfish, lay off the weed.
It's old yes but plse remember that many places and things in the New World are also still far behind.
My interpretation of the results show that Dominicans are very racially tolerant looking at the majority of indifferent individuals asked.
The pollster who said that Dominicans are xenophobic is talking BS because they only used Haiti as the other country.
I bet you would get the exact same result if you asked the same questions to Cypriots with regard to the Turks.

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.
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.

First, I don't speak Spanish perfectly, my accent is quite noticeable, thank you.
Second, I am criticizing gringos who have visited the DR and even though they can barely ask for bread then have the gall to label Dominican culture as racist. This is a complex topic and one needs to live here for some time and see it from different angles to get a good perspective not to mention one needs to be able to listen and understand conversations and generally how people interact. Then too they should be versed in Dominican history, specifically the Haitian occupation and how much the Dominican have historically celebrated their independence from Haiti. Finally, one needs to have been here in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake and seen all the news and radio reports and the outpouring of concern and help from Dominicans to then get an even better perspective.
chip, oh chip... i said this before and i will say it again: if people only spoke on subjects they have knowledge of the earth would be silent. speaking spanish or not, living in DR or not - does not stop people from having an opinion. and sometimes an insight of an outsider can be interesting and quite truthful, seeing things with a fresh eye, so to speak.
let them be.
more on topic: i do not know about the skin colour but hair seems to be of importance here: good hair, that is. a dominicana will show with pride a child of any shade as long as it has pelo bueno.
rasizm in DR? no more than what i see elsewhere. less so, maybe, because where i come from most people would not marry someone of a different race.
