I LOVE IT. HE IS MORE DOMINICAN THEN ME.🤣 This reminds me of a time when I had to translate in Spanish for a nurse and when I saw the patient , I said to her, um you need a Chinese translator the nurse said, nope, he speaks Spanish😱. He had lived in D.R. longer then he had live in China. And he knew D.R. more than me , embarrassing, I was born and raised in the States. But there is a lot of Asians in D.R. Love my Asians.😎

Being Mexican-Puertorican, mannnnm do people identify you as anything but from where you truly descend. From Middle Eastern to North African to Turkish to Asian (Indian, Afghani, Pakistani, etc.). Sometimes I’m lucky enough to have people say “Are you Puertorican and???”, and maybe it’s because my dad (Puertorican) has strong genes that passed to all of my siblings. Love how diverse we are!💖

There was a treaty after WWII with Japan that gave settlement to thousands of Japanese immigrants. A lot of them left because the land was undeveloped. But the Japanese helped alot with agriculture in DR, probably why we eat so much rice lol
