Actually, that write-up is less politically incorrect than I expected. The writer seems to attribute the f***ed up situation in Haiti to some national trauma over the last few hundred years. I'm afraid I'd attribute it more to cultural norms that go back much more than a few hundred years.

Not really it was the French that used Haiti as a slave outpost and a dumping ground. That's a tragedy.
