Is this your first "contact" with Dominican culture and history? Meaning is this the first time you've decided to venture into the labyrinth that is Dominican culture/heritage/identity? Your posts make me think so. I think you need a quick refresher course. There might be "another" reason your family touted the "Europeaness" of your ancestors and as for that whole first Spaniard/Dominican thing. All Dominicans know this and the "ig'nant" ones revel in it.
Not trying to be dismissive, just trying to help.
