Well, I've suffered discrimination in the capital. As a teenager on the occasions I would visit some freinds in the Ensanche Luperon some fools on almost every corner on my way to and from the home I was visitng would make a disparaging remark about "el blanquito".."que lo que hace ete mardito blanquito aqui", etc.., and they would be talking about me! Needless to say it was unwarranted. I was always just walking through minding my own business and unfortunately the perpetrators would always be in groups so there wasn't much one alone could do. Can't make this stuff up.

here is the deal, yumnuk. i have met numerous african american tourists who have told me that they were on their first visit to the DR, and that they would never return. why? because, they said, of the way they were treated by Dominicans. they observed that the locals fawned over the whites, while treating them like trash. i am not in a position to determine whether or not they were being overly sensitive, or overreacting. but i know for a fact that if i am in a line at the colmado, the owner will seek to put the white customers ahead of me. on one occasion, he even ordered the cashier to cancel my transaction, put my stuff to the side, and attend to the canadian lady who was behind me. in his mind, that is the pecking order. the white lady is first, and you are next. that , my friends, is the definition of racism. when i sit at a table with my white friends for dinner, the waitresses invariably try to hand the bill to one of them, but never to me. reflexively, they believe that they are the ones in the position to pay. it happens all the time. my white friends liked to eat at a certain steakhouse in the capital. the waiters treated them like kings when they went alone. when i went along, they would sit us at the worst table over by the kitchen, even if there was nobody else there. i stopped going to such places with them, just so they would not have to be inconvenienced like that. so, all who try to tell me that the DR does not have serious racial problems that need addressing, you are talking to the wrong guy. i have seen dark skinned Dominicans allow a white person to cut in front of them in a line at the bank, and they allowed it with a smile. i wonder if they would have been that pleasant and permissive had it been a person ten shades darker?

actually, Tupapaupa, i can imagine the exchange between yourself and the manager. LOL. look , it is only the severely self deluded, like vacanos and Gizmo, who do not see the realities. and thanks for the url, Mr Lautaro. i will read it as soon as i get a chance. and, as for vacanos and Gizmo: when people like Mr Lautaro put these links on the board, you should try to read them sometimes, and broaden your horizons. put down the nintendo for an hour or so per day, and READ!

Well, from her point of view, that experience of yours wouldn't have counted as racism, because on this case it was practiced on someone whose race is the one on top. This might smack as offensive to AA's, but I can't help but feel that some black American intellectuals have successfully convinced many people on the Left to adhere to the politically correct myth that "blacks" cannot be "racist" because they have no "power", when nothing could be farther from the truth, if we one is take Haiti's experience with whites as a sample.
