Isn't he latin? I thought haitians were latin, just like the french are in Europe. 
Latino is short terminology for Latin American, Haiti is in Latin America and they speak a latin derived language.

They may be Latin, but Haiti has an entirely different culture compared to the DR...or any other Latin American country.

Entirely different might be, I don't think so. What about comparing Patagonia or Chiapas with Santo Domingo, how much do these areas in common beside the lenguage?

I understand what people think when they mention LATINO, not white, not black, flamboyant, charming with a white open shirt. But the term is short-sighted. There is also the Cuban latino, the Andy García type of man. They consider themselves to white to be called Latino.

Not gonna argue a small point.

Go to Haiti for a few days and see for yourself.

Just the difference between Haiti and the DR is night and day.

Ok Cobraboy, I have been there, I know what you mean, nevertheless there are things they have in common, due to the African roots.

Except Haitians are bitter over those roots, and Dominicans completely deny them.

Shallow or Ignorant ?

Someone can be both.

Ethnicity and race are two different things.
