Haisian

hey-shun
noun

1. An Asian person living in Haiti.
2. The common mispronunciation of the word "Asian" by a French-speaking person.
All of the Haitians, being French-speaking, hear little difference in pronunciation of the words "Haitian" and "Haisian." Thus the difference is in the eye of the beholder -- slanted or rounded.

In the event that, a Haitian event is being thrown (Birthday party, Wedding, Church, etc...) it is normal for participants to arrive 45 mins to an hour late.

This was derived from EST (Eastern Standard Time) and adding 45 mins to an hour for late-ness

Party start time is suppose to be 4pm, Haitians arrive at 4:45 or 5pm because they run on HST.

Haitian American

A person who holds American nationality but has Haitian ethnicity
I’m considered to be a Haitian American since I was born in the United States but both my parents are natives from Haiti - Ex 1

I was born abroad in Haiti to American parents which automatically gave me U.S citizenship at birth therefore I’m considered a Haitian American - Ex 2

I originally came to the United States as a Haitian immigrant but after living here for 5 years as a permanent resident I was able to naturalize and become an American citizen; therefore I am now considered a Haitian American - Ex 3

A Haitian is a person born in Haiti or has either a Haitian mother or Haitian father but were born outside of Haiti. Haitians come from a strong, rich, warm, polite, complex Latin American culture. Ethnically the majority Haitians are predominantly of African decent. However millions of Haitians are a mixture of African,Spanish,British,French, Arab,German,Indian,Chinese, Jewish, Polish and Italian. And they come in all skin tones and colors. Most Haitians speak Haitian Creole (Kréyol) which is a beautiful language based from a mixture of French, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and a tiny bit african influences. Majority of Haitians are strict practicing Catholics. Only poor Haitians practice voodoo. Haitian cuisine is unique and extremely delicious made up of a typical caribbean/ latin american diet of plantains, rices, beans, seafood, meats, soups, vegetables, pastries, tropical fruits, coffee, teas, and rum but with intense mouth watering creole flavor and spice with a french culinary sophistication.Haitians dance and musics called Kompa which is exactly like Dominican merengue but much more elegant, romantic , and slow with a slow salsa-ish tempo. In America Haitian's and Haitian diaspora are one of the most educated, successful, professional minorities consisting of a large population of doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, entrepreneurs, business men, professional athlete's , actors, singers, fashion designers, and philanthropist.
