The problem is not with Haitian DNA but Haitian culture.<br /><br />Relatively small numbers of immigrants are culturally overwhelmed by mass of their adoptive society, but when large numbers of migrants are bought in, their own culture is reinforced by the immigrant desire to associate with people the same as themselves, it lessens the shock of cultural transfer.<br /><br />A classic example is here in Australia. Large numbers of migrants settled in Melbourne and Sydney and established their own communities and in turn influencing the local culture. These became cosmopolitan cities, their whole flavour is different to the rest of Australia. The other cities of Australia took in proportionately less immigrants and all have that typical "Anglo" feel.(not of which all is good) The migrants to those towns were not able to establish their cultures there, they effectively assimilated.<br /><br />The problem is if you import a large amount of Haitians you get to import their culture, not a good thing.The Social Pathologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927698533626086780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-70039987486224347012010-01-29T19:48:49.356+11:002010-01-29T19:48:49.356+11:00Bernard,

Before being chosen for this role, she was a veteran television reporter and host. Most of the Haitians live in Montreal and Quebec as they are francophones. <br /><br />I agree with your second comment about once they choose to integrate or harmonise themselves with the new culture, immigrants have a much better chance of becoming productive and less embittered members of society. Compare the Chinese almost anywhere with the Turks in Germany. The Chinese work very hard and smart and soon occupy government positions (Eg. Julius chan in PNG), and own large businesses (the Louies in Canada). The Turks work hard but many are reluctant to harmonise themselves and some outright refuse to have anything to do with German society. Many become embittered and angry at Germans and Germany for being German and not Turkish.<br /><br />Link for the GG:<br /><br />http://www.canadianimmigrant.ca/MichaelleJeantannennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-1631394322038061422010-01-28T07:10:30.796+11:002010-01-28T07:10:30.796+11:00Do you know any hard facts about Haitian immigrati...Do you know any hard facts about Haitian immigration in say Canada, where I hear they are numerous? this is a candid question, as I have not researched the subject.<br /><br />My own (very anecdotal) experience has been that all the diaspora Haitians I met were productive members of the societies they lived in.<br /><br />I have noticed many times over how people from corrupt and dysfonctional countries can add real value to the society they leave for, and thrive once they integrate a stable frame. Of course, it probably supposes that their numbers not be so high as to overwhelm such frame.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774296148536773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-12882550401352737112010-01-26T10:30:20.207+11:002010-01-26T10:30:20.207+11:00Yes, because absolutely everything in the world ha...Yes, because absolutely everything in the world has to be politically correct. <br /><br />Honestly? <br /><br />I agree. What happened to them? Terrible. But what will they bring to us, or to any other countries? They probably have better survival instincts, but does that mean they'll all just end up on the street later on? I hope not.Oddyoddyo13https://www.blogger.com/profile/05557994037779209704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-80372548938797552482010-01-26T07:54:58.931+11:002010-01-26T07:54:58.931+11:00Thanks for dropping by.

In addition to being unskilled, laborers from Ahiti are likely to be culturally pre-disposed to crime as a way of life, rather than hard work. <br /><br />Speaking exclusively French is also a non-career enhancing skill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
