Because my love of money is greater than my hatred of third world stupidity. Tough life I know.

BTW, if you hate Domincans so much why are you still here?

On a recent trip, we were driving one night, following an expat friend, when a bus did some crazy move, almost hitting his car. He got out of the car and went to the door of the bus to confront and argue with the driver, (probably not a smart move, but whatever.) Immediately the scene was surrounded by a swarm of moto conchos who were in no way involved in the incident, but were obviously acting in a way to intimidate him. Definitely an "us vs. them" situation. The situation never came to blows, but it was very tense for a few minutes. I can't even imagine what would happen if there were a real accident.
Chip - do you live in a big city or in a small campo? Why are the Dominicans that you run into so much nicer than the pricks that the rest of us expats run into?

Everything is rosy if you wear the right glasses

What I have found out living here is that foreigners are perceived to be arrogant, quick to anger and cold or aloof. This is a very social country and one can be a part of it or left out. One's Spanish doen't have to be that prisitine because a smile is worth a thousand words.
Speak for yourself!
I guess you should surround yourself with a better class of Dominicans.
It's funny how some people just hate people of other cultures no matter what. These people see nothing good and only see the negative. The funny thing is, inside these people are uglier than the ones they hate. A closed mind is a very sad thing.
A closed mind is also one that generalizes objective criticism as hatred.
I don't hate the Dominican culture or people. It's not hatred that makes me objectively point out that it's backwards to leave a toilet dirty, drive like a selfish dink, or walk away from a bleeding accident victim.
So cut the star-child, moon-child, flower-child hippy bs generalizations.
Bloody white liberals sure love to go to the jungle and just idolize everything that the pygmies do as better. Awwe they're so free and unencumbered with their grass skirts and and hunting spears and superstitious jungle ways. No. No they're not. We got the bomb, bullets, modern medicine and levi jeans. We won the IQ war. Bullets beat spears. QED!
Do you say this because you saw me at super colmado randy french kissing your maid? Or because you know me? or because...you're just making stuff up?
Ironically, the 'better class' of Dominicans, are actually BIGGER pricks than the peasants.
ie. All the rich donias in the supermarket near my area are all bitches to their maids. All the rich guys who are professionals are assholes to their wives and have 3 or 4 beeper chikas on the go at the same time, and well in general the more richer and 'better educated', the more racist against Haitians.
And sure, maybe the impressarios and medico's i'm spending my time with are all the exception and not the rule. But is everyone in bella vista the exception and not the rule?
So, so much for your theory!
