When people don't get the point, they overly simplify it. I am not saying I am better then him or her. I am simply saying be yourself. If you don't socialize with barrio / project folks in USA, then why do the same here? If you don't like to date your plumber in NY or go bar hopping with your car mechanic when why do the same here? If you wouldn't marry a mexican dishwasher who works in waffle house in alabama then why would you fall head over heels over a guy who is a motoconcho in montellano?
You see what I am trying to say to you?
I live and socialize with folks, exactly like I did in USA. I am not acting like some big don in some barrio with green dollars in my pocket. I am not acting like some big fish in a small pond. I live in areas where I am equal to my neighbors or a bit worse off then they are. I actually look up to many around me.
On the contrary, many of you visiting foreigners just mingle with the social class that you wouldn't dare be seen with in your own home country. You spend time with folks in DR, who happen to worship you, this way you feel like the big don, for once in your life.
So please don't point the finger at me. I am not the one who is pretending to love the poor and the desperate.
