Every time I go to Europe I'm mistaken for an Arab.

For me it was France mostly. In Spain as well, but it was the Arabs living in Granada that thought I was Arab, not the Spanish.

In Spain, can never guess why (maybe it was my American passport) thought I was Puerto Rican. They constantly asked me off the bat as if it was no big deal.

There's certain accents I'll always remember hearing, and the most foreign sounding one to me was Arabs speaking Castelleno.

Do not ask what your ethnic background can do for you ask what you can do for your ethnic background and then BE PROUD that you have accomplished something.

Do not brag about your ethnic backgroud, help the most poor and the uneducated before crime diseases , prostutition and tourist exploitation destroy them
Save your ethnic bacground before it is extinguished

Are you trying to raise envy with those numbers? If so then you'd be surprised out how many Dominicans out earn you and have property more valuable than your own, of that I can assure you with the utmost certainty.
