Dominican = Hispanic
Hispanidad is not a race, it's an ethnicity....
All peoples from Hispanic cultures (ie. countries that have a strong Spanish influence and/or history) are hispanic.
Being Hispanic is irrelevant to a particular race, being Hispanic is more on the lines of ethnicity rather than race.
Here are some example of ethnic classifications in the United States, which proves that Dominicans would be accepted as Hispanic whether they are white, black, or mulatto:
Definition of Hispanic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic#Racial_Diversity
"In 1990, the Census Bureau added two race categories: American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut and Asian or Pacific Islander. In addition, the Bureau added two ethnic origin codes: Non-Hispanic origin or Latino and Hispanic or Latino origin. (This site shortens these categories to simply Non-Hispanic origin or Hispanic origin.) Thus, a person could be reported for any combination of race and ethnic origin, e.g., Black (Non- Hispanic origin) or Black (Hispanic origin)"

In this PDF document about the Labor Force, notice the ethnic categories. Again, which one will the average Dominican falls under? It's hispanic.

Definition of what or who is a Hispanic:
HISPANIC
These are a set of ancestry codes for persons of Hispanic origin. They overlap to a great degree with the ancestry variables. Persons of Hispanic origin may be born anywhere, including the U.S., and may have any U.S. citizenship status. Separate Hispanic origin codes are assigned to Spain and to each of the nations of Spanish America. In some cases, a range of codes are assigned for each nation, with the separate codes corresponding to different ways of phrasing responses to the question. Note that there are no Hispanic codes for persons of Brazilian or Portuguese origin; these persons can be identified using the ancestry variables.

This is some racist bullcrap. I hope it is not true. The site doesn't have a real home page and there is no contact us page.
Regardless, I've heard the eliminiation of racial/ethnic categorization line of argument before. It saddens me that individuals have fallen for this bs hype that alleges the calling for the advancement of "caucasian Latinos" is really going to encompass all Latinos. See, because if this was true most Dominicans would be assed out.
IMO ANY Dominican that follows this agenda, a la NAACL, really doesn't deserve a VISA because they would just be a pawn in the divide and conquer strategy. My solution: Take their arses back to DR and where their racists attitudes is welcomed.

Yeah, Argentina already dealt with it's "colored" problem. Hurray, for them!
Talk to the Afro-Peruvians all about that. As for the Uruguayos, well, you can talk to their Native pop and see how organized and empowered they really are. Only Bolivia seems to have gotten plugged in enough to hear the message.

What I meant was that since those countries are Hispanic and 90% plus white, those people concerned with those things should consider living in those places, rather than creating web sites based on nonesense.deelt said:
There is a variety of countries in this world covering the full spectrum of humanity, not just racially and/or colorwise, but culturally, linguistically, etc.
If people don't like the situation in one country, hop over to the next.

Indigenous peoples all across South America have been considered second class citizens; this includes Uruguay. This is the first time in Bolivia's history that a person of clearly indigenous decent has been able to reach the presidency. I don't think the same can be said for surrounding countries.
