So then maybe I misunderstand your comment ... who is or is not racist? Dominicans? West?

Isn't that generalization, racist?

None that I met. Definitely extremely classist but I saw and heard no racism. Our guys drove us around much of the island, including past the armed guards at ... Haiti mountain border over the months we were last there. Unless you count trying to have enough babies to outnumber everyone else as a race case... I just didn't see it.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I don’t think it beats out my lifetime of intimately knowing my own culture, language, politics and people. But you know. Different opinions I guess

Just saying we didn't see it, not competing. Many other questionable things seen, but not racism. We care for people there and visit often. I'm sorry for your experience.
