OK... I just read a really weird thread that ended up being closed. But, it gave me food for thought (maybe it should not have... I don't know). But, suffice it to say, I am getting the feeling that there is apparently some animosity that exists in the DR against Haitians. Is this correct?
I am concerned only because (pardon my self serving attitude) of the fact that I am generally assumed to be a "light skinned" AA in the States (I am not), and know very little about Haiti or Haitians. Is is possible (probable?) that during a visit I might be harassed, spit upon, glared at, given the stink eye, denied nookie, or otherwise disrespected because of a mistaken identity? Happens all the time in the States. Just wonderin'.
