Social Conditioning of Dominicans through History?? What Do You Think??

I'm sorry. I don't know where you got that ridiculously low number but I can assure you that the number of mixed people in the US is far greater than 4 or 5 million in a country with over 300 million!! In any event I don't know what part of the states you're living these days (you're still living in the US no?) but your "figures" don't mesh well with the reality.
By the way it is extremely difficult to measure the number of mixed raced people in the US considering many identify more with one race than the other, especially as you've pointed out, black/white mixes.
Interestingly enough out of the two biracial folks you mentioned above, two very visible "black" people had children with white people........so again you're wrong, things are changing.

So what is she?
Black, white, morena, Grimel, mullata.
Help me out here - I have got to tell her something.

A sweetiepie?
Actually ... she is probably NOT Dominican
even if she was born here
Even if her mother has a cedula
Since her mother is Haitian, no? And her father is a Brit, no?
so she would have been issued a birth certificate from the Libra Rosada... which she will be able to use to get her British and Haitian national papers and passports.
But
she IS Adorable!!
She is Haitian and British passportwise - thoroughly against the rules about dual nationality - but lived in the D.R. for most of her life.
And yes she is adorable - she takes after her dad!:bunny:
Actually sometime she is not that adorable - sometimes you do not want to mess with her!!!!

You can just HEAR what she's thinking. Something like "What you talkin' 'bout Willis???"
What an adorable little girl!!!

So to many of you this is a picture of a middle aged gringo with two Dominican school girls. To others this is white guy with black children. To the girls this is a picture with Bob. To me it's a picture with Angelica and Noelia.

2. I didn't mentioned them, the guy quoted in the link that's "right there" did.

3. I actually did said that in my post.gre:
These responses remind me of what I said in #8 in my original post. In case you ?miss it,? let me bring it to light:
So far, points #2 and #8 have had wonderful examples, I hope this doesn't mean examples of the remaining 9 will be presented here.

For those who think the US is finally the great "melting pot" where nobody cares who marries who, think again. While living in Orlando with my black wife it was apparent many people found it troubling or unusual. Case in point people would stare and some older couples would smile at us while some obvious showed their disapproval. Just the fact that people stared reiterates that it is still considered unusual. It was much worse in Ga, SC, and Va when we traveled. For this reason we did things as a hispanic couple and we fit in the community just fine.
Of course to some the US only consists of NY and LA and everything is doesn't count but that's what we expect them to think anyway.
Here in the DR there is no issue at all and the greatest thing of all is I no longer have to hear "the kids are the ones who will suffer because they won't know who they are".

It seems to me that whoever originally wrote this, or whoever is obsessed with presenting this this way, has no clue They may actually be the one with the issues. Or may just be interested is "stirring things up". This is a prime example of "stereotyping all members of a group".
I see myself as an individual. Be glad that I see YOU that way too.
If I, as a black American, can comment on this thread while also completely taking race out of the equation (see my earlier thread), I really have to wonder WHO has an issue. And wonder how accurate that statement is.
But since US issues are NOT the topic of this thread, I will make/take no further comment on this.
