Some Haitians say there's been a history of racism and mistreatment by U.S. Of 4,202 applications from late 2018 to June 2021 only 194 were granted asylum. Attributing collective intent or behavior based on Arab ethnicity is as racist as attributing collective behavior or purpose to any race/ethnicity and invariably leads to prejudices and hatred. We all share the same culture: we eat the same food, dance to the same Kompa, and speak the same Creole. We are all Haitians, whether we are black, mixed, or white, rich or poor.
