Oh Kg just had to throw in the Haiti card!! The ugly anomaly in primarily hispano-colonized LATAM...
Unfortunately our honest, objective discussions of Haiti's situation will always lead to the apologists citing bigotry on the NorteAmericano's part...Even though we've been there and 99% of them have not.
I used to jokingly tell friends thinking of working in West Africa or Somalia to get a little time in Haiti and see if they like it before signing on for the long haul on the dark continent, had nothing to do with race and everything to do with culture. It's incredible the night/day difference between Haiti/DomRep even though they occupy the same island and had the same available resources at hand - DR is no model of perfection, but it shines in comparison to it's neighbor.
For my 2cents worth, the indig everywhere else in LATAM deserve just a tad more credit than the haiti crowd, I'm generalizing of course....what a damned waste of caribbean real estate.
