Yes, I carry a Dominican passport along with two more from EU countries and I live in the UK. There's definitely an anti-Haitian sentiment which you could describe as xenophobia but I wouldn't call it racism; people dislike Haitians not all blacks. After all, the Cocolos and Samaná Americans aren't getting deported and they're unarguably black. You do raise a valid point as to black and mulatto Dominicans' wish to describe themselves as tringueños or indios; they refuse to refer to themselves as black and generally value their European ancestry. However, I don't think that is relevant to the topic at hand.

Racism, colorism, other -isms are very much at play in this discussion, I mean, even Dominicans refer to Black Americans as "n****s", so that tells me a lot about their psychosis and self-hate that I don't share.

Your perspective is appreciated, at least you're not some dude who thinks he understands this shit because he went down for a few weeks and scooped up barrio pussy.
