Are you kidding me!???
Have you guys even been reading the thread on Ethnicity much less know the meaning of the word?
Stating you are Haitian is not an "Ethnicity nor Race" it is a demonym for Nationality. Thus when you say you are Haitian regardless of any automatic anticipated guess of what is apparent and obvious you are only stating your "Nationality" as to indicate being from this specific Independent Sovereign Nation or Country, nothing else. So the right answer for Haitians' ethnicity would be Afro-Latino American. Afro is fist because our ancestry is from Africa, latino is second because it is the region second to Africa which has become your home and lastly American because Haiti is part of the Americas. In other words, much like in the United States you have African-American to describe a black man's ethnicity, well the same concept is applied. Once again, Black is the race of most Haitians by 95%, The ancestral background is African, the region which Haiti is in and is a part of is called Latin-America , The independent nation or country is Haiti thus Haitian is the Nationality, but at last the Ethnicity is Latino or Afro-Latino American to be exact in terms of all technicalities and political correctness.
Thanks AfroLatino. You
Thanks AfroLatino. You clarified what not many understands. I really didn't know about the latino part.
