Chopo
It is easy to call people chopo when you have luckily been born to a rich family in a country where the majority of the people is born poor. Certainly, I cansee you see yourself as superior because of your lighter skin. It is very easy to pick on the un-educated when you were lucky enough to leave your home country to get better education in a developed country. Though, I am sure you were born in the U.S and think of yourself as american, even though you know they will not accept you as such. Of course, you will not admit that, specially in this board.
I wonder how it would be if all human beings have had the same opportunities as some people who brag about their looks, education and economic status? Certainly, there would be those who would do nothing with them, but certainly the arrogance of some would be of a smaller scale. Unfornatetuly, hundreds of thousands of dominican children have to work awful hard shining shoes, selling flowers, newspapers and all sorts of stuff on the streets risking their lives, in order to help his parents support the family. In the meantime, those so called "americanized dominicans just seat and watch with shame at the poor command of their spanish, their old clothes and darkened skin. I tell you with dominicanos como tu nunca cambiaremos nuestro futuro.
Leonel Fernandez , independently of his looks, which by the way represents the majority of the dominicans, paid its dues and worked hard rising from extreme poverty into one of the most powerful political leaders in the D.R in this age. Now, that is something to be proud of and worthy of admiration.
Now, I would like to hear what are you doing to help the sad fate of the D.r. or do you even care? Hope you do. I do.
