When channel surfing I sometimes pause at Spanish language stations because I am curious as to how they present themselves. At first I was amazed that all the people were White, with an occasional Black or mixed-race maid. Nowadays you will sometimes see a few of this type as audience on game and talk shows. So they are making progress of a sort.
As perhaps many of you may have experienced: when discussing racial issues with Spanish speaking Blacks, they often say, “I am not Black” I’m Dominican, Puerto Rican, whatever. So I am just so happy to hear the above, I can’t even tell you. Ignorance and stupidity like that should not be afforded the comfort of sympathy. If they are so worthless as to accept, and apparently even embrace, that sort of thing – F**k um.
Quote: Theres no such thing as a Black Dominican. Black is not a ethnicity it's a color. There are Dominican's with African ancestry such as myself, but unlike me a good percentage would rather embrace the indian or Spaniard blood in them.
Need I say more?
But for the record: this represents in confusion in meanings: Black IS an ethnicity, it is one of the main three: Black (the original), and it’s off-shoots: White and Mongol. Dominican is a “Nationality”. But that was probably already known; people grasp at anything in order to hold onto what they hold dear.
