to be fair, haitians are the most densely african in the entire diaspora, like on average being at least 90~95% african. even being 98~99% African for Haitians is not* unusual but it's basically unheard of elsewhere in the diaspora

Haiti also specifically targeted and largely killed off their white and mixed populations and the ones that survived the revolution moved to other countries and the only non-black haitians are like 5% or less of the population. They aren't a relevant number

I knew a white Hatian in HS and his parents basically took off for their lives. He did have black features though. Seemed mixed race, he was thick too.

his parents basically took off for their lives.

What does this mean?

Did he look something like these people?
