yeah i'd say the Caribbean has a problem with colorism
Pressure the gov. of the Dominican Republic to stop its planned "cleaning" of 250k black Dominicans
- Thread starter Alexander The Great
- Start date
my point is that DR isn't a magical place where all whites and blacks and everyone in between live in unity like yall painting it. there's discrimination based on skintone especially since yall have more variety in phenotype than other Caribbean nations. so basically i'm saying for a light/white skinned guy to say there's no colorism is ridiculous because someone in that position is not going through the same experiences as a dark skinned person. there's numerous examples of colorism in DR and across the Caribbean.
also i don't know why you are acting like only Dominicans have multiple shades in their family

where'd you get emotional from?Colorism exists everywhere but we being singled out for it and accused of racism. All impoverished Dominicans are treated the same regardless of skin tone. Among the rich it may be different but that's a very small minority.
My grandma saying "don't marry him because he has bad hair" is not the same as somebody's white grandma in the US saying "only marry other whites because we are superior and everybody else are inferior. White power". Colorism is bad but every single group in the black diaspora has that problem. These Koreans ain't out here selling weaves and blonde wigs to white women after all.

A different topic for a different thread.
Let's continue to focus on how the DR is legalizing their undocumented people and making the country better for all
