I am half Haitian, I’m father is Haitian, my mom is black American, my father left around 4/5 & has been in & out of my life since then. He never taught me Kreyòl & also little about the culture but I do know some. My main point is whenever it brought up or a Haitian person notices I’m Haitian (usually by my last name or knowing things about the culture) & I tell them I’m only half I also get the same response. Just the other day I commented on a page based for new for Haiti & was told I’m not Haitian because I’m onto half & can’t even speak Kreyòl.🤦🏽‍♀️ idk if just kinda hurtful because I am who I am which is half Haitian but I feel like people who are & or don’t speak the language are very much looked down on.

Edit: Someome commented & said spelling & grammar should be better in my post. Sorry for any error in spelling , grammar or pronunciation in post. Thank you.
