Actually I thought there might be at least an opportunity for this to be the case.ze pequeno said:A tan? Interesting.......... I would appreciate if you or any other poster here would answer a quick question: Are black american tourists in DR less likely to be hassled by vendors or other service providers than their white counterparts? Not to mention easily singled out as tourists! I'm keen to explore the DR outside of tourist traps............
Thanks in advance!
Being "white" I can only speculate and will therefore defer to any poster who is by any definition more qualified than I, but I have observed that Dominicans come in every shade from slightly darker than me to the darkest Hatian around (there's an earth shattering observation - LOL). The point I am trying to make is that a black American tourist has the opportunity to blend in more than the untanned white equivalent and must be separated out by manerisms, dress, language, etc. - not just by skin colour.
Just one man's speculation.
