@RockyM Point taken... but though meant well, it "comes off" rather pompous to "move" to a country and label it's citizens as "very noisy and have no respect for other people". Like we are now experts on Dominicans. Simply say you are looking for a quiet location and keep it at that... There are so many factors at play when making such a conclusion that "Dominicans are noisy", and may very well ultimately "generally" be a statement of fact. But there are many Dominicans that also what their quiet as mentioned, so that conclusion already starts falling apart.... Simply say you are looking for a quiet location and we will all maintain the respect for one another
Not to gang up on you ugpulse, but RockyM is one of the cooler heads and is a great addition. Spend some time reading the forum, and the many other news sources, and you will see he is echoing the rest of the country. "Read the room", as they say. 2 posts in, and being critical of someone, is pretty reactionary. Leave your prejudices at home, and understand that most of us have, as well. Trying to improve things is very different than changing things. By that, I mean, working alongside the vast majority of Dominicans who seem to want the same thing is different than forcing your views on them. If Locals and Expats agree, it isn't racism.@RockyM Point taken... but though meant well, it "comes off" rather pompous to "move" to a country and label it's citizens as "very noisy and have no respect for other people".

I am not sure where you inferred prejudice from my posts. All I am saying is we, as expats, agree with many Dominicans and want existing noise laws enforced.@RockyM Point taken... but though meant well, it "comes off" rather pompous to "move" to a country and label it's citizens as "very noisy and have no respect for other people".

@UncleBuck lol… no worries. I never accused anyone of racism. I simply said I found the original post disrespectful in its wording. Everything else is assumptions that I will not engage in. Be well.
@RockyM read the original post. I was responding to your response. And commenting on the original post. I was not accusing you of anything. I guess I should keep my mouth shut. Lol. Let you guys answer questions on the quiet areas
@RockyM It is a fact that most Dominicans are loud and noisy, they don't deny it. I said most not all. It seems to be part of their culture. Even in the most upscale resorts you could encounter Dominican Neighbours from hell.
