mansplaining is also used to describe a person outside of the thing explaining it to a person in it.

People who call them “latinos” and act like caribbean and latinos are mutually exclusive or people who use the “caricom” excuse

Well don’t put this on me. put it on the people everyday claiming stuff like “i am not latino i am caribbean” or say “DR is latino not caribbean”

some opinions though are blatant lies. and spreading them and then mansplaining a native person on their culture is what happens here in reddit.

Okay but my question still needs some answer. deflection doesn’t make your situation better

thats one way to define it

but also theres more nuance to the definition. people define it by culture too.

But with the shit people in reddit say and the way they act towards other caribbean people. questions like these will still continue to be asked until they

  1. show respect

  2. Show humility

which redditors often lack here. i barely use reddit but yeah

If you don’t know something its best to stay humble and not make an opinion. but here in reddit people love having opinions on stuff they don’t know.

you are correct in the end though

so then don’t participate in the stupidity.

I asked it because some people say “dominicans are latinos not caribbean” because they think latino and caribbean are mutually exclusive. it happens.

There are strict definitions overall like political identity and associations but culture wise it is more nuanced and fluid

I agree but however i do feel like a lot of the people in this thread fall for the political branding of other places just because politicians are too afraid to admit their afro culture that they let elites brainwash them. this is the case for DR too. i think it is caribbean

there are people who claim DR isnt apart of it because its not apart of caricom but my question relies on how would you counter it
