You have brought up a very interesting point. Though it is sad that the natives of the country have to deal with race issues like that, I'm sure that as tourists to the area, we will be fortunate enough to be exempt from that treatment. Especially because in most third world countries/vacation destinations, anyone from America, to them, means $$$$.
So while it is something worthwhile to contemplate on and to be empathetic to the people of DR about, I'm sure that during your vacation you will have nothing to worry about.
Enjoy!!!
