Before I knew much about different "Latinos" I went to Dominican Republic.

I was tripping that the people all looked like light skin Black people. And I am one of those light skin Black people so they all thought I was one of them.

They laughed when I said I didn't speak Spanish like they thought I was kidding.

Since then I have become more educated on the subject so I realize my impression at the time was .. narrow minded?
I was blown away how many dark skin people live in DR.

I thought it was like 50/50 white and black, but naw it's like 90% brown and dark skin people.

Biggest thing I learned from this thread is that Taxstone is Honduran :ohhh:

Wonder did he grow up speaking Spanish?

Not too sure but garifunas are almost like Puerto Ricans in a sense that they don’t do well passing Spanish down to their off springs. Taxstones, Casanova (Panama), Coach da ghost (Guatemala) and Pop Smoke (Panama) all look like English was more widely influenced in their background.


Even Belizean people they just sound like Jamaicans to me. But they aren’t Spanish to begin with anyway.

btw I don’t think Panamanians are considered garifunas but a lot of their blackness comes from Caribbean cats building the Panama Canal.
