`  The majority of the dominicans are mixed about 73% mixed with white,black,taino(native american)((I don't say this because some random website says it, but I am dominican and I have lived and studied the history there)) so it wouldn't be right to judge or place us in a specific ethnic group, because this percentage of dominicans are multiracial that's why they can't say ``Im White`` or ``Im Black`` or ``Im Amerindian`` they are mixed, they represent many ethnicities. It is not that they deny there race its just that they can't just clasify or represent themselves as one race. Though they are other dominican groups which have mostly African ancestry. Other groups are build of white european ancestry 16%. I personally classify myself as mixed but my family's ancestry is mostly spanish but in the other hand I have black and Taino family ancestry as well. Like many other mixed dominicans. William S`
