Haitians are Haitian. The language of Haiti is Haitian Creole.

LOL. Y'all were shytting on non AA blacks for a long time. It's cooling down now, but only because the numbers are up and it's harder to keep that shyt up. But most non AA blacks who grew up in the States had to deal with shyt. Not trying to be antagonistic and confrontational, but it's the truth.

We don't all look alike though..that sounds like some ish racist non blacks think...different "tribes" have features they're known for |
Haitians are not a "tribe". We're from different tribes from all over the African continent, just like AA's. So to say that haitians have a look and jamaicans have another look doesn't make any damn sense. What's racist is a lot of AA's assumptions of what haitians are supposed to look like. It kinda get on my nerves. There's a reason all these artists are "in the closet", like someone stated earlier and that they would feel that they have to hide their ethniticity to make it just pisses me the hell off. |
You're getting extra defensive when there is no need. No one has insulted Haitians or their looks. Yes, there is a general look that all ethnic groups have, so what makes Haitians any different?
I'm sorry but some of y'all sound insecure af about this |
I'm getting defensive because some of y'all JUST DON'T GET how ignorant the reasoning behind it all actually is. Insecure, definitely not. I'm haitian and proud (truth be told, I'm only half haitian, but I'm still proud!) If I'm gonna throw the insecurity card, I'd look at who is constantly trying to claim some type of injun or what not. And the funny thing is, those AA Beyonce type creoles that y'all love so much, most of them have haitian ancestry. That puts me in stitches | Was someone mean to you for being Haitian? Because i'm not that person lol...i'm gonna need you to direct that misplaced anger elsewhere. That's like getting mad for someone saying blacks generally have brown skin and tight black curly hair. You'd be the one in the background with a burning pitchfork hollering they're ignorant because some blacks have fair skin and straight hair too lol

I've never been surprised when someone told me they were Haitian. it's usually like Ricky Martin coming out of the closet. it was just a matter of fact statement to tell me about their family, no scandal, no big reveal....I didn't think it was a "thing". Luckily, I wasn't raised in a place where that mattered.

And French. Creole is a mixture of French, african languages, some spanish and some english peppered in there. We were enslaved by the French, just like English-speaking west indians were enslaved by the British
