    Most Dominicans have African heritage. Lol at a lot of people ashamed to be ? when they adopted ways of dressing, speaking, and acting in ways that are inspired by Black people. But there's a lot of race issues in the Dominican Republic that create the stigma against people calling themselves Black.

    SMH for the past census on Mexicans. Most of them come from mixed heritage, leaning more towards Indian. Just goes to show you that white supremacy and the message of white privilege are spread throughout the world.

    yeah but the one drop rule isn't really applicable.
    does dominican culture have some ties to some africans? yeah, is that small percentage of our cultural history stronger than the other majority of the mix? hell no.
    as you can see the majority correctly put other because we are indeed something else

    skin tone =/= race

    I'm not talking about a one drop rule. Most of the Indian population died out after Columbus was through with them. The majority of people on that island were Black. Most of the Dominicans are of African blood, researching the history. I know how much that "bothers" people to think that their ancestors were mostly ? , but history doesn't lie.

    Skin tone =/= race but at the same time, religion =/= race. Anti-semitism is not racism...(I know that's not related to the thread at all)

    Not the Mexicans, who look like White people. They aren't trying to run them out.

    As a matter of fact, it's just like how Whites extend preferential-treatment to light-skinned Blacks...same concept here...

    Those Caucasian-looking Mex are the ones America go out of their way to give preferential-treatment, since 2004...

    I concur...

    stop playing Dominicans are well known to be the biggest uncle toms in the western hemisphere as far as the majority is concerned. ironically, they share lineage and an island with the most rebellious and courageous blacks in the western hemisphere. it's definitely a catch 22 when it comes to Hispaniola.

    this is historical fact. it's Spain over everything to them black folks over there when it comes to loyalty and admiration for the most part. although genetically & culturally they are predominately a west African people, just like everyone else in the Greater and Lessor Antilles.

    um no, dominicans are mixed so the whole d.n.a thing is silly....African influences r in our culture, food, and music as well as paintings in the city. u are not being honest Sir

    Spain used to rule D.R so it;s not shocking their influence is perhaps greater but its not like dominicans rep spain come on

    Abstract People in the Dominican Republic are considered to be genetically heterogeneous owing to the post-Colombian admixture of Native American, African, and European populations. To characterize their genetic background, nucleotide sequences of the D-loop region of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were examined in 33 healthy women and 50 gender-matched patients with obese type 2 diabetes (OD) from the Dominican Republic. Phylogenetic analysis of 198 mtDNA lineages including Native Americans, Africans, and Europeans enabled us to assess relative genetic contributions of the three ancestral fractions to the two groups in the Dominican Republic. In the OD group, the majority (64.0%) of the mtDNA lineages were from African ancestry, whereas the Native American fraction was predominant (51.5%) in the healthy group, with both showing smallest amounts (14.0% and 9.1%, respectively) of European contribution. This difference in maternal genetic background between the two groups was similarly demonstrated by phylogenetic analysis at the population level based on net nucleotide diversities between populations. These findings may imply ethnic-specific predisposition to OD, a possible association of an unidentified factor from African ancestry with OD in the Dominican Republic population.
