Many are aware of racism between Haiti and Dominican Republic but this thread is about racism by ex-pats directed to dominicans. Yesterday a thread I was contributing was closed because of the following:
"Another thing I have not noticed much calling of what is being said by it's correct name. That name being racism. Try (in any semi-civilised country such as the US or England) saying "How do you know when a black (the post I am quoting from had said dominican instead of black) man is lying?......Lips moving" and see where that gets you".
This is an extract from a thread which served mainly to rubbish dominicans. I thought I was making a valid point and I was substituting black for dominican to make a point. The point being that many ex-pats on this forum use racist language against dominicans with impunity. Perhaps now this post is started to address this issue it will not be closed.
