Why doesn't Dominican food get the same recognition as Cuban Food in the U.S.? - Santo Domingo

RE: Why doesn't Dominican food get the same recognition as Cuban Food in the U.S.?

Many of the cubans in southern florida are racist to the point that just they look foolish. Case in point: I have a Dominican freind who has a european phenotype (whether he has negro ancestry or not is not discernable at all from his appearance....the guy has light eyes and hair to boot) who lived in hialeah in the mid 90s..he was dating some cuban chick who was head over heels for him..to make a long story short her family was totally against the relationship..the cuban girl related to my freind that it was because he was Dominican and they didn't want her "race mixing"!....her idiot father even threatened my freind physically and then tried to buy him off with a bribe when that didn't work....mind you I met the girl and my freind was "whiter" in appearance then she was! .LOLOLOL...I kid you not, this is a true story. Another freind, a cuban, who lived in some neighborhood in havana called "Cayo Hueso" (en el centro de havana como decia el), supposedly a historically "negro" neighborhood, related to me that as a teenager he was prevented from dating a girl in cuba simply because of the neighborhood he was from and its association with Afro-Cubans, this depite the fact that my cuban freind was "white" himself! Can't make this stuff up. Many (note that many does not signify all) cubans are racist based on skin color AND association.

Indeed I am I have strong ties to florida going back to when I was a teenager and as such I'm VERY familiar with cuban americans. I've dated within that group, have freinds within that group, broke bread with that group. If you read carefully you would've noted that I said many, not all. But choose to believe what you wish and to see what you want. It is your right. Pero como dijo el pana el sol no se tapa con un dedo.

Does this page suit your "needs": http://www.historyofcuba.com/history/race/AfterWar.htm Even though Castro's regime has a dreadful record in Human Rights violations, there's one thing that I (or anyone that opposes that regime, for that matter) can't deny: his regime have made great strides in the struggle for extirpating racism from cuban society. On the anecdotal side, I can say that I have seen this racism first-hand, by the expressions that one of my neighbours, the daughter of a former sugar-mill owner, uses when talking about some of the haitian vendors that used to sell their wars near our apartment building: she says that, hearing them speaking their language, is like hearing barking dogs. And she'll not stop at that, her repugnance would be so poignant that she did everything in her power to have them sacked from the neighborhood. Edited on 7/23/2008 11:45 AM by Lautaro.

AnthonyC, his story is a simple illustration of how racist a white cuban can be. Let me provide my own example. I have some family members that live in Miami My cousin, who is dark skinned, went out with a Cuban girl years ago and her family practically disowned her. I became very friendly with her when one day she told me a story: She had gotten a painful wart a while back near her armpit and needed to go to the doctor to have it removed, and do you know what her father told her? "Eso te pasa por andar con gente sucia!" (That's what you get for hanging around with dirty people!" No, not every Cuban is racist. However, that seed is implanted in many a cuban, and it's something even their own blacks have dealt with. Did you skip my previous post or something? Edited on 7/23/2008 11:50 AM by UnDyin86.

Cibaeno, I believe you and don't find it shocking. Anyone that knows cubans rather than reading on them know that their society is very very segregated. Your dominican friend although white appearance in cubans eyes is "dominican" which means somewhere down the line some african ancestry might tarnish his beautiful daughters blood line even though she might've been darker. They just don't care about that I'm white rather where you are from. Again we are generalizing a group of people but anyone can attest to their segregated society. If we were to compare the societies DR/Cuban I think it is safe to say that DR's society is less prejudice and more acceptable to darker hues. AnthonyC are you Wilgeens. Dude if you are I have to say that you are a disgrace and need help. Now can we get back to food everyone..There is more to life than talking about race..too bad Wilgeens find race plays a role even in cuisine..Haitian black beans are not preferred over red beans because they are darker..lol...and don't sell will in the DR because they don't want to disclose their african heritage by eating black beans..

To accuse a country or many people of a country of racists should be considered carefully not based in casual experiences.... Don't you feel sometimes angry when other nations accused us of racists; because I do... they don't know what the reality is.... and perhaps you might not know what those Cubans really feel or why they behave that way...
