My husband is Puerto Rican, and although I consider them and Cubans as our "cousins", even that can be sometimes difficult as far as food goes. We cook the same same things, but differently.
Even Dominicans in our own country are prejudiced against other dominicans, be it for their skin, their class, neighborhood, what ever it may be; It is ridiculous.We just need to learn how to live and enjoy what each other has to offer. We live in a small town in Arizona and I am the only Dominican and the are only a handful of PRs. We are sorrounded by Caucasians and Mexicans, all we can do is teach them about our foods when they come over for dinner and they love our sazon!!!
As far as friends and family not being happy with your race, too bad for them. That should add some sazon of your own to your marriage, so be happy and stick to each other, everyone else is just envidioso.
