You know you're a Haitian when you have nothing to eat because you raped the land and deforested it, have 20 illegitimate kids, have AIDS, live in filth, have an I.Q. of 70 or lower, don't work, are a born savage criminal, crap in your drinking water and blame the U.N. workers, have no building codes, and are a lower life form than the monkeys you evolved from.
