    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).

    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?

    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

    Yes, but it’s because they live next to Haitians, and that will make you racist.
