"The Dominican" refers to a certain Dominican individual. mountainfrog Thank you. Is it acceptable to abbreviate it as DR. Like USA? Yes, there's no problem with that. Also, Santo Domingo city is abbreviated most of the time as SDQ and Puerto Plata as POP.

You might as well point the offending posts out, that way we would get to know about your POV and viceversa.

Hi. Again, I don't want to offend anyone (when people start calling us yanks racists, I get upset too

); but it seem that no matter what the subject of a given article, it always devolve into a shouting match about Haiti and Haitians. If one is to believe the posts, Haiti has mounted a full scale invasion of the country.

Some of us on this site may be of help Thank you. Someone suggested I used google to research your country. I am not sure if it was said jokingly I want to know everything. I can google "Dominican Republic" on google; but there is no substitute for "live" interaction. I read some of comments posted and (please do not be offended); but some of them come across as a bit racist and ignorant. I am sure that was not the intention; but that it was how it came across.
