Argue for the sake of arguing my objective is to emphasize two points :

quote WIKI : "

* The terms multiracial and mixed-race describe people whose ancestries come from multiple races.
* Multiracial refers to a racially heterogeneous rather than a homogeneous group or population.
* Mulatto denotes a person with one white parent and one black parent, or more broadly, a person of mixed black and white ancestry.
(Obama belong to this latter category but still...) remark : no one call them white ( or blacks ) " and they are not from the 6th ,7th or 10th generations of white or black, or 300th generation of Taino but first Generation of white or Black.


Here is where the Dominican fit in my description and point of view. Generally , his grand parents are not European or white of any Caucasian ,his parents are out of the equation (not a chance,he would have being out of the country already jejjejje ). His great great grand parents maybe from somewhere , but who knows the truth, (he always has a white in the family,mother or father side or both ) hurry up claim the white side ancestors grip the proudness .Them as a final knock out he pull out the Taino card like he really has TAINO descents .( come on, what TAINO ? anybody has seen one ? Oh yeahhhhhhh right sorry ... Columbus. But why the Haitian who lived the Island as well doesn't have any Taino ancestors ?

what I see is a Homogenenity in a whole population and heterogeneity in the people mind .Take a family of 4 you surely find one or more ; so called "chino" "moreno", "white" , " black", " indio" what a damn "regero" !!! compare them respectively with such races , Tell me what do you see. I have a pic from work within figured 3 white men and a "white" Dominican phenotipically . I know a Dominican and a white when I see them , can you too see the difference ? You might want to stop and ask yourself like I asked before " who am I ? if I am such or such why is my sister or brother ( from the same parents )are darker with big lips ,big butts, large hips , round eyes and so on ...they are probably doing the same reciprocally.

The truth is out there , you education can be your greater challenge.... READ , READ ,READ you will find yourself. Betcha !! then you will live quieter with yourself .

I agree with you Guillermone. To correct some here most Dominicans do not consider ourselves white but of mixed race which in contrary to USA views we do not acknowledge one side of our ancesters but both or in many cases all 3 races that identify our country. No one here is denying that we have black in us as I do myself but acknowledging that we are a predominantly mixed race people and as such embrace all races which today make up the Dominican Republic. In my opinion if you are half puerto rican and half Dominican you will say I am half and half and that is the way we view ourselves. We do not lean towards one or the other but acknowledge that the majority of this country is a melting pot of the African slaves brought to the island, the European colonizers, the aboriginal Taino Indians and all the other immigrants in between which make up one nationality: Dominican. With regards to the Haitians I have no problem whatsover except that we are a poor country which cannot sustain the amount of Haitian immigration entering the country and this would be the same case if Haitians were White, Asian or Australian.

TO ojedamaggiolo80 :
Dude , where did you find your source ? You are pulling things out of your "arse ". Don't try to convince ppl with some bullshit fairy tale.

What Mnemonic is trying to say is : A fair Dominican may look white but is not white or caucasian. Don't leave ignorant remarks about things you don't know or don't understand.
