Colonialism= Dominican Republic Vs. Haiti

It's always interesting to see the different affects that colonialism has on countries. It seems that colonialism is the reason behind the culture wars between Dominican Republic and Haiti. According to Jalisco Lander, the reason why Dominicans and Haitian can't get along is because of the war between their colonizers, the Spaniards and the French respectively, started it. Another interesting affect of this was the way people view each other based on culture AND color, as opposed to either or more. If a Dominican just happens to be dark this is due to indian descent as opposed to the probable African descent. Look at the extreme reasonings in order to avoid association; its ridiculous.
