I read on another thread the following quote!
The quote from this writer is as follows;
"but is it worth it to have to have guards, guard dogs, barbed wire, guns, or whatever in order to feel secure? I realize that the chances are slim that you will be robbed but don't these stories scare you to death? Not long ago I commented that some of the crimes against gringos where they were killed went beyond just wanting valuables: they wanted to humiliate and violently murder the gringo. "
................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The intention behind my question is to discover if the facts exist that, as per your subjective experience with the DR people, that a ground-swell of hatred (that manifests occasionally with murder/violent crime) exists and is on the rise.
My intention has nothing to do with wanting to start a hate-fest against the DR people, as i truly recognise that not everyone is a murderer / racist etc!
My questions are addressed to the following people on this forum
Humiliation of the gringo!
Id hope this post can enlighten me without it turning into a $hite fight!
Take care

My questions are addressed to the following people on this forum
- those that actually live in the DR!
- those that have had actual real-life face to face conversations on a daily / weekly basis with Dominican people about these types of issues i.e 'crime against the gringo/ humiliation of the gringo' . My questions are also addressed to those that would consider themselves to be feeling the 'pulse' of the average Dominican's thoughts, feelings etc with respect to the above
Humiliation of the gringo!
- Whats the deal on this???
- Is there growing resentment against the foreign person?
- What segment of society is feeling this resentment?
- What is causing it?
- Does any resentment against the foreign person even exist??
- If resentment does exist, is it simply a loosely formed sense of nationalism which might state the following??;' the DR is for DR people... which includes it's lands and its women' (Clearly foreign people are buying up the land and marrying the women)
