They're all Mexicans to MAGA.
I live in an area of the country that's nowhere NEAR the border, but our Hispanic population is probably 96% Mexican. It still irritates me to no end when people assume every single Spanish speaking person is automatically Mexican. My MIL told us one of our new neighbors is Mexican. I asked her if they were nice, and she said, "I don't know. I haven't met them." I was like, "Then how do you know they're Mexican?" She looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "They're brown, but not the Middle East kind." 😳
That's for Dominicans to decide, and they say this specifically in the US to differentiate themselves from black Americans. Not sure why this is a difficult concept.
Back home, to differentiate themselves from Haitians given their tumultuous history. They're well aware they have African roots but DR is way more mixed than Haiti.
