Most Dominicans are so proud to be "slightly" Spanish but shun their obvious African roots while standing in your face looking like a Black person. Talk about self-hate, and white obsessed. They are embarassing.

DSP, all Dominicans are NOT black...I know many german,spanish,lebanese,jewish­,corsican,french, even Chinese-descended people there, HOWEVER, MOST are black or of mulatto/mixed background even with indigenous background too. NOT all are black!!!

@chsn09 Nope that's false, no region of Spain has any admixture that would be significant enough to mention (no more than any other place in Europe actually, Portugal has very little admixture and so does England do to more recent times). Being darker means shit and I was just in Spain and Southerners are not even dark, they're pretty much no different than Greeks in coloring, unless you're going to claim Greeks as part black.

@DownSouthBAP Oh and like the other person said Dominicans aren't a homogeneous people, they're a new world ethnic group made up of different ancestral backgrounds and it depends on each person what their ancestry is as it was said there are even Chinese Dominicans with no European or African ancestry. I was just talking on average.

[MusicaDelCaribe]

@DownSouthBAP Actually on a genetic level Dominicans are predominately European, not African, despite most being mixed to some extent (many times but not the majority predominately) with African ancestry. To you they look black because you accept the American one drop rule, but compare these people to actual West Africans and tell me how black they are in that case? There's no denial that most Dominicans have African ancestry, but to call most of them black is ludicrous and American thought.

These comment boards just get stupider and stupider

@BoricuaChevere No Latin American countries are over 50% black unless you include mulattos. In that case,Brazil is also over 50% black. Puerto Rico has a slight White majority, but it certainly isn't the only one. Chile,Uruguay,and Argentina are majority White by far.

@keinaan12345 Well I don't know if the one on the video is Puerto Rican, but that wasn't a Puerto Rican accent...it sounded to me more Dominican than anything (I might be wrong) But I'm Puerto Rican, and there are differents accents in Puerto Rico... We do pronounce the "s" is the "r" that some times we left out ... like we say "Puelto Rico" instead of "Puerto Rico" but we are who we are

[keinaan12345]

The Puerto Rican accent is so weird!! They dont pronounce the "s".
