What does a Haitian look like?

When I read your question, I thought, "Is this a joke?!"
But then again, if you are of the Haitian culture, you really do hear this a lot either as a question or declaration.
"A lot of Haitians think they are very good at spotting another Haitian"
How can you acquire that skill, you ask?
Well, if you're looking for a Haitian, just find the dude (or dudette) with two arms, two legs, one head, and a will to survive.
That's what I imagine a Haitian would look like ☺

    This particular question was longer and more elaborate. I had to cut out some inapropriate and offensive wording. I shortened it.
