LOL, you got it........... if you watch the second full length video you will see that the lady in the white pants is in on the joke.

The whole thing was staged...............

Staged yes, but done to see what reactions would surface from Doms. And that reaction seemed mostly positive towards the Venezuelans. Even some trying to comfort the Ven gal.

And vice versa...Dominicans do the same in other countries. I understand what your point is but this problem is widespread just not the DR.

I agree. It is just a matter of survival. It does not have anything to do with any particular country.

I think that the girl wearing white jean is part of the group and is playing the instigator role.
look fake to me.

I agree and as does Espossa , this video is for ratings... exploiting the immigrants for Youtube dollars.
No more No less!
Shame on Her!

Looked it up on Wikipedia.
Xenophobia can be distinguished by opposition to foreign culture.
Distrust and fear of that which is perceived as being foreign or strange.
Xenophobia is a POLITICAL term not Medical. So it can be separated from the other Medical 'Phobias'.

Look it up on Wikipedia ,! Interesting.

Racist? Wrong word. It is not racist. That is dependent upon race. This is not.


I agree - but try telling liberals that. How many news articles have we seen where charges of xenophobia has been conflated with and labeled as racist?

Staged or not, people shouldn't behave that way toward other groups. Call it what you want, it's wrong. Simple.

The whole thing is a staged social experiment to gauge the reactions of normal Dominicans in public. It's comforting to see the majority of Dominicans shown in that film were actually supporting the Venezuelans and nobody chimed in with the "staged" Dominican aggressor. In fact the guy in blue did actually challenger her.

Is it of your opinion that illegal Haitians should be allowed to remain, reside and work in the RD as well?

Yes but one must keep in mind the entire thing was played out in an area with a known police presence at all times. Would the reactions have been different in a different setting?

No, not at all, and this thread is about Venezuelans anyway. There are better ways to deal with immigration issues than public verbal attacks. It happens and it's not always staged. Humanity can do better than that.

I am very well aware that this thread has to do with Venezuelans, but there is also the underlying theme attached of illegal immigration here in the RD as well, and no other group currently represents that dilemma best than Haitians. It is for this that I asked you about Haitians. Now, is it of your opinion that illegal Venezuelans should be allowed to remain, reside and work in the RD?

Most dominicans and 100% of the men!!! are in favor of venezuelan, colombian immigration ( blancos, cabello bueno, somehow more educated)
What they dont want is more Haitians. My observation

It works the same everywhere, look at the comments made towards welcoming immigrants from Norway by the POTUS.

Now if this was "staged" was the Dominican lady also part of it?

If so, her reaction wasn't genuine and the entire debate is indeed bogus.

The Dominican government seems in love with Venezuela overall, no?

it was probably done to show people reactions to the venezuelans. I think the experiment will work better if the audience
were mostly women. The dominican women have now some strong competition.
