Question So it's bout skin color?

I'm confused, so is it the skin color that people are against "mixing" or the culture??? Whenever i got to washington heights (a place in nyc where the majority population is of dominican descent)i don't see any differences between myself and a dark dominican girl. My skin isn't dark, it isn't light but it has more of a brownish caribbean tone to it. People have mistaken me for a person of latin descent on numerous occaision. About everytime i walk into a bodega as a matter off act, the man behind the counter talks to me in spanish. When latin men look for a girlfriend is it that he is looking for someone of the same color (or a lighter tone) or the culture? I have a dominican friend who is darker than I am, and says that everyone in his family would call him "el haitiano" and make fun of his curly black hair. And that his mom would just die if he brought home a black girl orsomeone as dark, or darker than him. Meanwhile his mothers skin is the same skin color, if not the same than darker than mine. I really don't understand that. My mother's father (my grandfather) was mixed with white. Therefor my mother, as wel as my uncles and aunts all have a light complexion. Never was I as a child or now teased or mocked for having a browner skin tone then them. They always told me I had a beautiful brown complexion and beautiful dark hair and etc. It's disturbing to me to see how ignorant people of all races can be. In my oppinion race doesnt even matter, anymore to people, it's the skn color that matters. What do you guys think? When you go for women, are they generally of light skin or darker skin?...and why
