QuoteUS officials in the Dominican Republic are warning "darker-skinned" Americans they are at risk of being swept up in the country's crackdown on Haitian migrants.
The advice from the US embassy in Santo Domingo suggests that authorities there are using a person's appearance as a criteria for detention of those suspected of being in the country illegally.
The Dominican Republic says it has deported 43,900 migrants, mostly Haitians, between July and October in an operation it insists is necessary for national security amid growing unrest, gang crime and a fuel blockade inside its only neighbour on the island of Hispaniola.
:disgusted:
The DR government has a history of being very anti-Black and sugarcoating it with/as policy
That's why I'm always slow to judge Dominicans who don't "look Dominican" and are super shy about claiming their blackness
... and even those who project their mess on others. I've definitely low key checked a couple black Dominicans I know.
Not dragging them but finding subtle ways to let them know why it's not OK to say certain things . And not laughing at "jokes" that are laced with anti-blackness and self hate .
the country has a VERY deep rooted history of anti-blackness...mainly pushed by people who were clearly of mixed race themselves (Rafael Trujillo). you almost can't blame some of their more unambiguously black citizens for trying to separate themselves from something that has been blatantly demonized.
um, are they not checking documents? how are the girls in danger of being "swept up"?

theyre using appearance as a way to justify stopping someone
If someone "looks Haitian" they're gonna check them out .
I think It's a good warning to put out cuz if someone wanders off somewhere just for a few minutes without their passport handy in their pocket ... not knowing what's going on and thinking they'll be fine since they'll BRB to the hotel
...they could end up in a very fucked up situation . Randomly stopped and Detained by authorities until they get proof they are American
Or god forbid someone LOSES their document while over there and is spotted and detained .
who knows how they'll be treated during that time . Or how cooperative and helpful DR authorities will be as the American tries to retrieve their documents .
It's clear they're not very fond of black people so I doubt they'll be serving three course meals and giving white glove service as you wait.
Theres definitely risk involved worth considering . They're not saying don't go there ... they're saying be very careful . It's valuable advice IMO

!!!! It be the lighter ones that actually try to claim a "Afro-Latino" mess. The burnt chalupas say no DEAL.
the man behind a lot of DR's deep-rooted mess
dictator Rafael Trujillo
his grandparent was a black haitian and he did his best to hide it.
and not only hide it, but went out of his way to punish black haitians and try to create a "pure" country
when he himself wasn't even "pure". :omf:

this video popped up and this thread immediately came to mind
@ivorian oph what i bolded is exactly what happened to this woman
she actually shared her story months ago before the warning was widespread
-> she left passport at hotel not thinking it could be a problem, and went out to explore
-> was randomly and RUDELY stopped by immigration officer who didn't even give her a reason why he stopped her. just demanded to see her passport.
-> it was only until a DR citizen ran across to vouch for her in some way where the cop let her go.
otherwise, they were clearly prepared to detain her/take her away.
-> she specifically spoke on the treatment and how she definitely felt the approach/interaction with the cop was dripping with racism
he wasn't even trying to be professional or give her the benefit of the doubt in any way. she was clearly stopped because of how she looks
