I can tell you honestly, believe me or not, I have traveled a lot, over US, Latin America, Caribbean, Africa and Asia, and my personal opinion is that DR has the highest percentage of dumb people, and they are not just dumb, they are extremely dumb. I am really surprised that they have a lot of really good (and smart) doctors and high quality medical services here, some really good lawyers, but the majority of the population.... DUMB DUMB DUMB. sorry.

A Dominican is worth for nothing?

We must be reading different forums. This is what he said:
"My believe as of my five years of experience living in the US is that we Dominicans are seem to be worth for nothing by people of other countries including our brothers of Latino American descendant.
I can't eat this Sh**t one of theses days I am going to have a very bad behavior about that!
Today there it was a guy from Uruguay bragging to be better than me in front of my American coworkers.
Holy crap!

He's not asking WHY, he's frustrated that it happened to him, from another Latino who it appears hasn't assimilated as well as JJ - poor English, not a U.S. citizen after 25 years, etc. JJ certainly didn't start this thread to hear a bunch of non-Dominicans bash him even more!
the DR is a part of the United Nations. using your logic regarding membership in an international organization, the DR should be culturally similar to the Czech Republic, right?
I don't bash him personally. I explain why people treat Dominicans like this. It's not his fault, but it's fault of millions of other Dominicans. Sad but true.
Should you not treat each person based on them as an individual, not any past preconception about their nationality. I for example have never experienced a Dominican cooking North American or European style cakes and cookies with any skill. Yesterday I had some Walnut cake and several Torts that were fantastic. Cooked by an Economist, the wife of Falutcho Jimenez. This lady was very entertaining and knowledgeable about a lot of different subjects. Now many nasty things have been said about her husband but I can tell you he is a gracious host, not loud and rough at all.
Okay guys, all the off-topic garbage has been deleted. Next one who does it will be on vacation.
i do not understand. what is the point of this thread? a dominican complaining about bashing dominicans? really? every nation in the world boasts to be better than thy neighbour. you should listen to the crap spat out by different european nations. i ignore it, personally. that's because secretly i know polaks are better than anyone else. because, duh.
This is really sad. As what you refer to as "mostly basura" I can definitely tell a large portion of Dominicans have a HORRIBLE inferiority complex. Everyone in the "Cono Sur" is cocky. They're raised to believe they're superior when in fact, no one is. If you feel the need to say you're superior then it's pretty much otherwise.
I do think Dominicans speak a different kind of Spanish that I honestly don't understand (and I've heard a bunch of dominicans say they speak Dominicano and not Spanish). If you were in my country you'd understand a bit more but still wouldn't get everything because of the slang.
This is just a sad thread.
as a guy who was born in the caribbean, i can tell you that there is nothing worse than the inter-island hatred nonsense. Trinis hate guys from Barbados, who hate guys from St Vincent, and so on. the only guys who get along are the guys who attend the University of the West Indies. the juxtaposition seems to cure a lot of the rivalries which are germinated by ignorance.
I think we're done here.
JJ, if there are further developments, send me a PM and I will reopen this for you.
