Ok so . This still angers me so much, so I'm going to finally make a post about it.

The part of this article related to anti-Haitian sentiments is relevant, if you want to read more about it (the article also mentions times that this xenophobic sentiment lead to genocidal attacks on Haiti), but basically,

In The Heights was a film about the Caribbean and Latino community, and throughout the show, different countries and people are referenced. There's a song where people are singing about their mixed heritage, and you know the one country in the Carribbean/Latino community that did not get a single appearance OR MENTION throughout the movie AND musical?

Haiti. The first independent black nation, the first country to have a revolution against slavery in the Caribbean.

A flag Usnavi has in the film, which shows off the many countries of the Caribbean and has a proudly (but weirdly big) circle around Dominican Republic, seems to purposely cover up Haiti. It is the only Latino country covered up.

This is a continuation of a racist/colourist attitude that Latin America, especially Dominican Republic, holds against Haiti. This is especially dangerous to have in white media (like modern musicals, which have a majority white audience, and are, oftentimes, designed for a white audience), because it furthers the erasure of Haitian history. The article mentions that here:

This film/musical furthers the idea that Latin America can't also be black, and aids in the exclusion of Haitians from the Latin American communities they belong in. Just like the other half of the island they share, Haiti was colonized by the Spanish (and French). Just like the other half of the island, the indigenous people on the land Haiti now sits were massacred by the Spanish (and French).

The half assed apology Lin Manuel Miranda made is not enough for me to support him, and I think more of the Latin American/Caribbean community should research Haiti, the country that began the revolts that lead to the end of slavery. There's a lot of really cool history to learn, and things like this aid to erase that history!!

We have a castle and Citadelle made for a black king! Only ~250 years ago! It's really really cool!!!

oh hey, i wonder how one of my favorite authors from back in high school is doing now, let's check his twi-

"Well the Dominicans successfully expelled hundreds of thousands of haitian immigrants from their country, so it's clearly not as impossible to mass-deport immigrants as the Democrats make it seem!"
