This article is poorly written as it shows a clear bias against Dominican Women. The danger of those comments is not the Domincan women who are allegedly brought to prostitute, but the propagation of hate and ignorance through the insinuation that Dominican people are morally corrupt and have come to destroy the “wholesome goodness” of Bermudian society. One thing this article failed to point out was the fact that it is Bermudian nationals who are soliciting and funding these services. There is not an objective and balanced view of the situation or the moral implications. Instead there is only an attempt at providing shaky statistics to approve the ignorant comments made by the Minister of Immigration. This article makes no mention of the damage the Bermudian nationals involved are causing to their own country or to Dominican women and their reputation. I don’t see how the propagation of hate and ignorance will improve Bermuda.

Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances. ~Wayne W. Dyer

We are each burdened with prejudice; against the poor or the rich, the smart or the slow, the gaunt or the obese. It is natural to develop prejudices. It is noble to rise above them. ~Author Unknown

A minority group has “arrived” only when it has the right to produce some fools and scoundrels without the entire group paying for it. ~Carl T. Rowan

Prejudice is the child of ignorance. ~William Hazlitt
