Island Dominicans might perhaps be some of the most right wing demographic of people in the continent(outside of poor white trash from NA) but that has alot to with our cultural and geo-political tension with Haiti, unfortunately
This is actually somewhat of a documented thing in the US among the latino diaspora. Dominicans tend to hold onto their national identity and use of Spanish longer than other latinos basically because they don’t want to be mistaken for Black people (especially Haitians).

From my time spent in r/2latinoforyou yes
You should see Mexicans, Peruvians and Brazilians.
Well I’ve met Mexican, Brazilian and Argentinians so all I can say is they have some serious competition.
Island people tend to be more nationalistic because insularity creates unique cultures.
A true nationalist would want to nationalize the banks. Are you sure Dominicans want that?
And it’s IBEROAMERICA
Nah Mexicans and Argentinians are proud people
If I shared how Panamanians talked about other countries in LATAM I prob would be banned so every country prob has people who are overly proud
I don’t know understand how you cannot be nationalistic about your country .
Yes, but it’s because they live next to Haitians, and that will make you racist.
