I am sorry if I hurt some sensibilities when I write such an observation...

I don't have an issue with your statement per se, as I understand what you're trying to say, the issue tough is the way you said it and generalized. As I'm sure you know Dominicans are some of the cleanest people probably on earth when it refers to their body, their hair, their nails, their house, their car, etc...in essence what they consider their own space.
There's however this culture of not caring about what they consider public space (Not theirs). So since this space is not mine I don't care if I throw trash there, because someone else (i.e. The government) is supposed to pick it up, I don't care if I spit, pi$$ or even sh$t on it, because after all IS NOT MY space.
I've asked questioned some fellow Dominicans before about this phenomenon. Asked why they keep their house very clean, while not caring about let's say all the trash piled up on their sidewalk and they invariably will draw a line and say "De ahi pa lla eso no e mio...asi es que..." - Translation: "From there on...that's not mine, soooo I really don't care what happens over there..."
