1. I've never heard or read that the people of Dominican Republic burned books to rewrite history.
2. Europeans had to import slaves because Natives were dying left and right after only 50 years the native population was said to be eliminated. So yes most dominicans are a mix of white and black.
3. Yes, in DR there are about a dozen ways to describe "race" and a million shades of indio. I believe race identity is not as important as in the US.
4.When it comes to recognizing how much african is in our blood I think only ignorant and undecated people would deny being at leat in part of African decent. honestly the things I read make me wonder if I grew up in a different DR.
