A Haitian girl was killed in the Dominican Republic, and there’s evidence it may have been an anti-Haitian attack. What’s striking is how many people respond with: “Haitians die in Haiti all the time.”
This is a clean attempt to dehumanize.
It dismisses a crime instead of asking whether discrimination was involved.
And here’s the part they stay quiet about:
Children are dying in Haiti, many from guns and ammunition that enter through the Dominican border. Corrupt Dominican officers on that side have been linked to supplying Haitian gangs. That’s a documented issue, not a rumor.
So when people use Haiti’s crisis to justify indifference, but ignore how their own country contributes to that crisis, it stops being a “reaction.” It becomes a strategy: distract, deflect, and deny responsibility.
Haitian lives don’t matter less just because Haiti is in turmoil.
We ask for Haitian authorities to press on this matter, as not only the family but the Haitian community is waiting for an answer
