Why
Hey Guarocuya,
Why do you keep insisting on that Dominicans are Indians. We already know that there are people in the DR with some Taino lineage (including myself...since I'm from the cibao and have "asian: eyes) but the truth is that the only thing that is left of Taíno culture are a few words and a few types of foods. The reason why many people in DR have indian skin is because they are mulatto not because they are Indian. I also don't agree with your comment when you said that we should give visas to ecuadorians, mexicans, peruvians etc. because they are of the same race, religion, culture as we are. Ecuadorians, mexicans, and peruvians are NOT of the same race and culture that we are. One of the only things we have in common is our religion (Roman Catholic.) But for the most part Ecuadorians are native americans or mestizos, peruvians are 90%+ native americans and mexicans are mostly mestizos with about a 10% white/ spanish population. How is this in any way similar to the DR, a country with 73% mulattoes...16% white/spanish and 11% black? And when was the last time you ate a tortilla, taco, or pozole for dinner? And when was the last time your family put some quebradita, vallenato, or grupero music at a family party? If anything, the latin american countries that are most like us in racial composition and culture are Cuba and Puerto Rico...Venezuelan youth also speak like Dominican youth in a way and have many of the same slang terms (since Venezuela is carribean and very close to us). And colombia has some mullatoes but their culture is very deeply native american and spanish. But Mexico....Perú and Ecuador....NO WAY!!!!!!
