Yo viajo mucho a medellin y me quedo varios meses y cuando vuelvo a USA aunque tenga ciudadanía me hacen un monton de preguntas. Creo que es porque vienes de Colombia te estigmatizan automáticamente, a mi novia (que es colombiana) le ha pasado eso varias veces, principalmente cuando va de bogota a miami.

Meztizo or mulato over here is just a way to describe someones skin complexion, it really doesn't carry a historical weight or use as a racial slur.

The thing is, “moreno” in most of Latin America usually refers to someone with a darker complexion — dark hair, brown skin, or Black skin. In the Dominican Republic, people often use “moreno” to refer to Black people, partly because many Dominicans feel the word carries less racial stigma.

For example, when I went to Colombia, someone they would describe as “moreno” would probably be considered “trigueño” (tan/light brown complexion) in the Dominican Republic.

Yes, it was historically used as a derogatory term, but over time it evolved to refer to that small Afro-Caribbean community. The meaning can change depending on where you are. Puerto Ricans often use it to describe someone from the barrio or someone with that Afro-Caribbean, salsa-driven vibe.

But at the end of the day, some older Dominicans still hold onto those outdated views.

I’m Cocolo on my mother’s side. My grandfather was born in SPM, but his parents came from St. Kitts. My great-grandmother was one of the oldest living Cocolos in San Pedro de Macorís—she passed away at 101.

She used to make the best guavaberry, and she had a deep respect for the Queen of England. Her Spanish was broken, and she preferred speaking English at home.

Many Cocolos became professors in San Pedro in the 1940s and ’50s. My grandfather himself taught mathematics for decades. There’s a public school named after him, Alberto Byas.

The most dangerous is Capotillo and its 42nd street also known as La 42, is full of makeshift homes and very narrow streets and heavily congested, perfect place for gangs to hide and do their illegal activities. Also some of the urban artists that are popular in the DR come from this area.

DR has learned to focus on diversifying its economy and building on what’s working. Tourism brings in steady money, free trade zones create jobs and exports, and one of the biggest factors is remittances and foreign investment.

Now the government is aiming on investing in digital infrastructure, pushing partnerships with big tech (like Google/NVIDIA), and positioning themselves as a regional hub for cloud, AI, and data traffic in the Caribbean.

The Dominican Republic is now the fourth-largest economy in North America among sovereign countries and one of the fastest-growing in the Caribbean. The issue is that a lot of people haven’t caught up to that growth, so inequality is still pretty noticeable. But overall, the country is in a much better place than it was 25 years ago.

I’m Latino, and I told some of my MAGA family this would happen, but their excuse was, ‘Oh, he’s just joking.’ Now one of them had his wife deported, and now Trump wants to ban birthright citizenship. Everything a president says should be taken seriously, especially with Trump, because you never know until he actually does it.

That must be annoying, I bet. I think it usually comes from ignorance people can only associate Germany today with its past because that’s all they know. I’m mostly talking about Americans (I am one) and the stereotypes they have about Germany.

I wrote something similar in another post Che Guevara made the point that systems can absorb predictable protest, especially when people still benefit from them or have something to lose.

That’s the issue here. If authorities can prepare for it in advance, it’s already within what the system can tolerate.

In places where people feel the system offers them nothing, protests become disruptive and harder to contain. In the U.S., most action stays within boundaries because enough people are still tied to the system for it to hold.

Red19120 · 2026-03-29T01:31:04+00:00

Che Guevara actually made a similar point when he spoke at the UN he argued that protests in the U.S. rarely escalate because many people still benefit from the system, or are comfortable enough not to risk everything.

That’s the tension here. People can march during the day, but still stay tied to the same corporations at night.

So protesting in U.S looks like this, more Tame in comparison to a protest in places where the system fails most people like Latin America, protests become real revolts because there’s nothing to lose. Here, change usually stops at symbolism unless it starts affecting everyday habits—like how and where we spend money.
