I chocked it up to souther ignorance. I mean you have people down there talking about their great grandparent having light skin. so this must mean they're mixed or something. like.... but to come back up north and have people trying to speak spanish to me. i'm like OK maybe it just wasn't southern ignorance. it got to the point where i reached out to Baph in privacy a few weeks back to share my experience and ask some serious questions. it turns out that its not just my hair people are looking at and saying "oh! curly hair! Dominican! Somali!" its my overall FEATURES. that are leading some people to believe this. bone structure, etc. then they mention my hair as a SECONDARY hint. that makes a lot more sense to me. Because Ive seen plenty of clearly AA people with light skin or curly hair and I never jumped to the conclusion they're mixed or even not 100% AA. thats ignorant as fuck to me. and backwards.For me, black is so diverse... different features and skin-tones.You do look black, but if you said you were Dominican, I would believe that. But I don't automatically think someone is mixed with something, cause black features are so diverse IMO.Dominicans are Black, ultimately. They are African and just happen to have heritage from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain) and a bit of Native American from Taino Indians who originally inhabited the islands. Because of the island's history.But I have no documented evidence to support a relation to this country.I do however have solid DOCUMENTED evidence to prove familial DeBerry/Dumas family ties to Puerto Rico.https://www.geni.com/people/Henry-DeBerry/6000000000074468716http://www.mytrees.com/ancestry-family/ry000247-197-2897/Sarah-Dumas-Born-1770-in-North%20Carolina.htmlBut PR's and Dominicans have the same racial admixture. LOL They both are of Black, Spanish and Native descent. PR's are more "mixed" though. With higher levels of European and Indian, whereas Dominicans can have higher levels of African. Which leads to their darker skin.I honestly think that's why many people confuse me for a Dominican, when I really am an African American with ties to PR generations back. It just proves that no matter how much they try to run from or deny it, Dominicans really are Black. I'm 81% African and am passing as one of them. I can guarantee you that no one would ever assume I am PR though. No one has everrrrr said "you look Puerto Rican".
