13. I think your issue is similar
to others from the Caribbean and South America. Regardless of racial background or mixture, they identify by nationality first. Many of Hispanic origin identify as that second. Race tends to come third.

I have to say that most Haitians I've met have very little visible mixed heritage; that was only in the small privileged class that ran the nation back in the old days.

and I like Caribbean music and have some compas and rara, I've seen Boukman Eksperyans in concert, have some Tabou Combo, though I am a greater fan of Kassav', from the French Antilles. They also sing in a creole that I can't possibly understand.
