I am Dominican. I go often, both sides of my family are from there. I have formally researched this topic and have interviewed many folks about the relationship been Dominicans and Haitians. I am not speaking of ignorance or white knighting defending the United States.

Dominicans recently always feel like they are being punished by the west because of their treatment of Haitians as if they aren’t actively racist and historically have marginalized them.. I agree you cannot expect the DR to support another poorer country when they struggle with poverty as well. However, Dominicans struggle with discrimination and blatant anti-colorism which makes it difficult to reach a resolution the public can agree to.

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
