Description: Ysmeria identifies neither as American or Dominican. She was born in the United States, where she believes she is considered Dominican rather than an American. This is well contrasted to how she would be considered more American or "Gringa" by people in the Dominican Republic. This labeling happens even though she was born in the Dominican Republic and her both of her parents are Dominicans. Recorded in Spanish. / Ysmeria relata su experiencia de no identificación ni como Americana o Dominicana. Ella nació en los Estados Unidos, en donde ella cree es considerada Dominicana en vez que una propia Americana. Así como también en la Republica Dominicana en cambio es considerada mas Americana o "Gringa" a pesar de que ella nació en este país pero sus padres son Dominicanos también.
