The
abbreviation for
Descendants Of Slaves, an ethnic group in the Continental Americas made up of the descendants of the survivors of the Slave Trade genocide.
The culture of this ethnic group is a unique combination of surviving African customs mixed together with the customs of their enslavers, which varies from region to region depending upon the ethnic makeup of the areas from which and to which the slave traders traveled to buy and sell
human beings.
Ethnicity (like DOS, Irish, or Italian) is a real
anthropological (the scientific study of people) term, unlike "race".
DOS (
descendants of slaves) deserve reparations from the government because the government allowed their ancestors to be enslaved.
Toni's mom is Italian, and his dad is DOS, which means Tony has mixed-ethnicity.
The idea of "race" is based in
Degeneration Theory, which conceitedly assumes that European ethnic groups like the Norse and the Romans are inherently superior to African ethnic groups like the DOS and the Arabs.
