@Soul On Ice @xfactor @VAiz4hustlaz articles like these kinda show us where posters like Playahaitian and the others get their sentiment towards us from. Dude got his nationality in his SN and will big up all others EXCEPT ADOS when it comes to beauty standards.

He may have been picked on by an ADOS as a kid so now he always tries to muddy our waters. But if we salute Haiti he gladly divides himself from us.
CARIBBEAN IMMIGRANTS STRUGGLE TO COPE IN SCHOOL

The students are black, the offspring of immigrants from Haiti and Jamaica. The school forms ask their race.
"White," they write. They lie.
Johnny Hardge watches, astonished every time it happens.
"Their skin is as black as mine," says Hardge, assistant principal at Boyd Anderson High School. "They would rather be called white than be associated with black Americans, even though the skin color is the same."
The wave of Caribbean island immigrants into Broward County schools has challenged the perspective of how blacks see blacks. Take Boyd Anderson High School in Fort Lauderdale.
The school is 64 percent black, 6 percent Jamaican, 1 percent Haitian. School officials say the percentages may be higher because they are calculated from student questionnaires.
We've got such a diversity of students that we're really an international school," Principal John Aycock says. "We want to deal with all this before it becomes a major issue."
This spring, teachers at the school were asked to take training sessions to understand the difficulties Haitian and Jamaican children face. Aycock says he is planning other sessions for parents and students.
Says Louis Alston, Boyd Anderson's resourse officer:
"It's a matter of trying to make the kids aware they should work together and not alienate another race."
Alston says he has identified seven gangs in Boyd Anderson -- all of them ethnic or racial groups. But gang-related violence has not moved into the school, he says, because the gangs are not well-organized.
Rose Ohm, a sociologist for the National Conference of Christians and Jews, says the situation at Boyd Anderson reflects attitudes nationwide.
"The Haitian blacks come to this country and they are treated like American blacks, and because of that they want to make clear they represent a different group," Ohm said. "Because they come in significant numbers, the whole idea is that they are 'taking over.' There is a fear associated with the coming of these people."
Marchnoie Auguste, a Boyd Anderson student from Haiti, was a victim of that fear.
"I had a very bad complex about saying I was Haitian," Auguste said. "People would say, 'You have AIDS.' I was so offended. So I would say I was French."
Auguste said the characteristics people associate with her homeland are AIDS, poverty and violence. She said no one knows of her culture's heritage.
Students also taunted Gabrielle Romain, a Haitian, saying: "Do you do voodoo? What did you have for dinner last night? Cat?"
"Everybody was against Haitians," she said. "They wouldn't even sit next to you. They're afraid you might catch a disease."
Paul Woodburn, a senior from Jamaica, said there can be pressure to hang out with students from the same background.
"If you don't, they (other students) say, 'You don't like your culture. You aren't proud of your heritage,"' he said.
Linda D'Andrea, coordinator of the school's Teachers As Advisers program, call the pressures "outrageous."
"They (the immigrants) don't know who they are," she said. "They've lost their identities."
In some activities such as band, drama and athletics, the ethnic differences seem to blur, students say.
Woodburn, for instance, was cast as the lead character in the school play, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
"The teacher just said I had the personality for Charlie Brown," he said. "It was beautiful. It didn't matter who was white or who was black."
But in other places, they say, it does not work.
Angela Walden, a white student, has seen fellow white students tease minority students with a vengeance.
"Sometimes I'm embarrassed for my own race," she said.
Auguste said she was oustracized by some friends, American blacks, when she told them she would not consider attending an all-black school. She was told: "You're acting white."
Jean Achille, a Haitian native and Broward sheriff's deputy who conducted teacher workshops at Boyd Anderson, has given teachers some knowledge about Caribbean culture.
For instance, he said, teachers should not touch the faces of West Indian students because in their culture it is considered an insult.
It also is a sign of respect not to look a teacher in the eye, he says. Here, teachers might interpret this to mean a student is lying.
Some teachers worry about a potential for violence in their Jamaican students. Achille tries to give them an explanation for any violence they encounter.
"At age 13, they learn to carry a gun and operate it," Achille says. "It's their way of survival on the streets there."
Understanding isn't always easy.
Pat Walker, a computer teacher at the school, sees a different attitude in some of the new immigrants. These children don't seem to want to assimilate, she says, the way her Italian ancestors did.
"It's like these kids come here with their guard up," she said. "I don't like the idea that we're having to adjust to them. Shouldn't they adjust to us?"
Jeff Askenas, another computer teacher, is unsure how much of the problems can be attributed to the cultural differences.
"We don't know what's motivating many students," he says. "How can you reach them?"
