They look like Quadroons and light skinned Mulattoes.
Its geographically in the carribean. So is cuba and puerto rico. She is talking about socially. Dominicans socially don't relate themselves to the rest of the carribean community except for cuba and puerto rico. What the admin decided to do really means nothing in real life how dominicans relate themselves to. Dominicans Puerto ricans and cubans are honestly kind of their own cluster. They really don't relate too much with the rest of latin america. But they see themselves closer to them simply because language is a bridge and because they were also part of colonial spain for better or worse. Thats just how history played out. So they don't see themselves close to people like Jamaicans or Aruba or Guadeloupe and trinidadians. My father and his friends whom were also born in DR never ever related socially with non latino carribeans ever like kin really. Just maybe respected some people on a individual level but never on a kin ethnic level. You will only really see that between cubans and puerto ricans and dominicans within each other more often even though they have their rivalries once in a while.
It doesn't matter what they consider themselves. They are Afro-Caribbean. People in Spain would never claim them.
genetics say they are 50% European and 40% African as average, the rest is native american (taino)
Your a portuguese. Dominicans dont care what portuguese think. But dominicans are mixed for the most part. And are generally mullatos. Dominicans aren't tying to be accepted by spain. That was something that was done in the dominican war of restoration when a mexican and other traitors tried to annex DR to spain and failed. Some dominicans actually have recent spaniard ancestry also from the trujillo era but DR isnt trying to be annexed by spain nor are most ordinary latin americans. Trujillo also wasnt really dominican. He was a haitian Half spaniard also. The previous president who was dominican was doing well for DR but he took power in a collab with his oppenent then took the power of the police to enforce himself and supress people
i know what your saying BUT i have a problem with that
your pretty saying we should just let the anglo & franco caribbean nations consider themsevles caribbean when they are no more caribbean than us and geographically speaking the Spanish caribbean is part of the caribbean too yet they can consider themselves caribbean, well im not gonna play part of that
the real DR's, Cubans, and Ricans are all three Caribbean, Latino, and Hispanic (not two) we are caribbean too whether we like it or not and honestly i dont see DR is being more similar to Peruvians than to Jamaicans, that is just laughable
also i find it funny how they we merge anglo & franco islands as the same when they are not and i def see differences between them, having been all over the caribbean i can tell you who's french caribbean or not
another point i want to make, i have had just about a lifetime of outsiders tell me they cannot tell the DR apart from the rest of the caribbean including anglos and francos, yet they tell me PR is different but not DR
all the photos just look like a balanced Mulatto, similar to cape verdeans, curacaoans, and guadeloupeans
no, get it correct
he was one fourth Haitian and half spaniard
also another history lesson to be made to all
well over 20% and possibly more of Haitians have Dominican ancestry, but they don't talk about it much and i know this because i lived in haiti for about 4 months and let me tell you, there is alot of Dominicans there
the girl im going out with is half Dominican half Haitian but she is more Haitian and lived in Haiti and she is Black, she identifies with Haiti more cause she lived there and theres many Haitians like that, the media has us all confused and i suggest you all to do your own research or just simply travel like i do, i dont trust in DNA studies cause your never gonna get the actual percentage especially when only the ones that can purchase the kits are the ones that get counted and not the rest which DR is a majority lower class and poor nation, same with the rest of latin america, i dont think for one second that the average latin american is 80% Euro, its more like 50-60%. But these are things that are never gonna get a concrete answer
