Rafael Trujillo, the Dominican Republic's dictator from 1930 to 1961, harbored deep-seated racism, which was rooted in his belief in racial superiority and national identity. He viewed blackness as associated with poverty and backwardness, reflecting the broader societal prejudices of the time. His regime implemented policies that marginalized and discriminated against Haitian immigrants and Afro-Dominicans, culminating in violent acts such as the Parsley Massacre in 1937, which targeted Haitians and those perceived as black. Trujillo's hatred was partly aimed at consolidating his power and promoting a racially homogenous national identity.
