Tigre, by Hillbillies definition and your own acceptance of that definition, the word generalize implies exceptions to the rule. The only reason you are offended by it is because of excessive patriotism. I am Dominican and I am not offended when other people say what is obvious. I stick to my opinion. If anyone else here disagrees fine. But our beaches are disaster areas when the huge Dominican crowds come. They just don't care. Yes you and I are the exception. But "generally" Dominicans behave that way. Otherwise, why are our streets so dirty. Why is it that some foreign tourists never return? Did you read what an association of hotels stated recently? They stated that the reason Playa Dorada Beach hotels are closing is not because infrastructure, or problems with the service itself. It is because the local crowds(Dominicans) invade the resort's clubs and surroundings for drinking binges that cause disturbances, fights and lawlessness when local clubs in Puerto Plata close early(because of government rules).
What was the problem one of our posters had with moving his family to Boca Chica and protecting his wife from Dominican whistleblowers?
Who brings stray dogs to our beaches? Who harasses tourists with their unwanted and sometimes dangerous merchandise(lambi, raw shrimp and oysters)on our beaches? Man, try not to be so "Dominican" for a change. Flag waving doesn't excuse this. You and I may not try to jump the lines at supermarkets and banks. But "generally", most Dominicans do. I see how employees on pay day give their cash cards and checks to others so they don't have to stand on line. I don't see that in more civilized societies. Have you not seen Dominicans(because I don't see others doing it) at a cash machines cashing in as many as ten cards from other employees while you pay your dues standing in line? Have you seen Dominican behaving at the lunch line in supermarket's delicatessens? I avoid them like the plague.
I just read a post you did not object about us capitale?os, Cibae?os and others that just discovered Bavaro and Punta Cana and act as if we have been there all the time. Well he "generalized". I spent part of my youth in the East coast and went to Punta Cana and Bavaro and the beaches were raw, unattended and full of algae and sea urchins then. I lived inside Central Romana in an American styled wooden house with mosquito screen and painted dark green like all the others. I got bitten by Caribbean black wasps that can only be seen there. But now the beaches are better thanks to the developers. I'm as Dominican as you are. But I say what I believe and what I can see with my own eyes. Carnival lines didn't stop coming to our ports because Dominican Republic is not a beautiful island. They stopped because our taxi drivers were rude, and just plain thieves. And people on tours just want to have fun, not be bothered with our local problems and "padres de familia". I make it a practice that I check before I go to a resort. If there's too many Dominicans I stay home. I want to share the beach with more civilized people. And Lambada , I love Guacanagarix. I rather be him than losers like Enriquillo and Caonabo. Except for a couple of streets nobody remembers or cares about rebellious indians who traded their gold for mirrors.
