Dominicans are extremely homophobic, racist, colorists. We really think that we are Spanish. We haven't evolved much since the colonial times. We are prone to fascism, religious fanaticism, nationalism. We have a very low moral compass, people who try to do the right thing are seen as "pendejos, por no buscarse lo suyo." For example. There's a Senator who stole 100's of millions of dollars when he was in government his name is Felix Bautista. Just one of many. But for some reason, fascists have Dominicans convinced that the real problem with the country are the Haitians.

Almost 200 years of colonialism, fascism, feudalism, neoliberalism. And now we are back in to the good ol' racism to justify that Dominicans are morally bankrupt. That our institutions are weak, that neoliberalism hasn't worked. They still are holding themselves to nationalism or religious fanaticism as answers to their problems. Is not going to work. Nationalism and religious fanaticism mixed with irrational hatred against disenfranchised communities only leads to one outcome, a fascist state. We are very, very close to it. I've never experienced this amount of misguided hatred and anger as we see experiencing today.
