I live in Little Haiti, Brooklyn and can confirm the food around here is some of the best in the city also everyone knows everyone in my building and my block. It's very much not the norm for New Yorkers. But Haitians, and Caribbean people as a whole, are very community oriented and it's pretty much impossible not to get entwined with the families you live around. I go to BBQs in front of my building and always get a plate brought up if someone's having a party. I speak French to some of my neighbors and one friend particularly enjoyes it because she said it reminds her of home, albeit I don't exactly speak the same French she does haha.

I have no clue why anyone would shit talk Haitians, they're literally some of the best neighbors I've ever had. I mean I know why, Haiti was the first black independent post colony so they've been subjected to some particularly really shitty racist attacks historically. Just sucks though, they're exactly the people who should be citizens of our country.

Once the maga folk migrates to Russia, because you know, satanic, socialist, Marxist, whateveric Kamala, there'll be plenty of room to fill the country with pleasant people.

Edit: and I'm envious of you, I wish I had those neighbors.
