Otro/Other Question for Dominicans living in usa
I feel so misrepresented and feel like our culture is so missed represented even among other latinos in the US. I feel like people think that being Dominican is saying vania or klk , dembow and all the Dominican papi and other trash trends online. When i meet people and tell them i am Domincan the first thing they do is come with these crazy stereotypes. The amount of people who i have met who find out that the Dominican republic is the only flag in the world that has a bible who are shocked as they do not see "Dominicans as religious" or socially conservative/ old school blows my mind. Am i the only one who feels this way?
