Today, I went out on a date with a girl. Everything was going well until I shared how my family was affected by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. She immediately got up and left, calling me a liar. Apparently, I'm "too cute" to be of Haitian descent. What the hell? FML

OP here. Yeah I did dodge a bullet. ******* moron, that one. I spoke to her the next day and it turns out that she only knew Haiti from the what she saw on CNN. I told her that's ******* stupid and there is no "certain" way to look like an ethnicity. She kept trying to find rationalizations like maybe I was mixed with French or something. Nope. I'm full on darkie. What makes this worse is that she's African American and lives in South Florida. So there's no way she hasn't interacted with Haitians before. I always hear from fellow Haitians that they get this a lot, but its the first time it actually happened to me. For the people asking, my mothers cousin passed in the earthquake and my dads family lost their home. My godsister also passed away. It was not an easy time at all. I'm not sure how the conversation came about with me & her but needless to say, there won't be a second date.

Well on the plus side, you are cute. And on the other plus side, you didn't waste more time with someone who seem to be an absolute moron. Consider yourself lucky :)

Lets see how she'll feel about it when she gets hit by a natural disaster, then she'll come crawling back to you.

Ah ignorance. It could either bliss or just plain idiocy.

"I'm not the one who's so far away When I feel the snake bite into my veins" Put a Voodoo curse on her! :P I grew up going to Haiti every summer and Creole was my very first language learnt.(: Whenever I talk to my friends about Haiti, they always picture the horrors of the place and never realize the beauty of being on a tropical island! I guess the media only show the negative sides of being down town. Shame!

Ah! I just had that song in my head. It was playing on the radio in my car. And I don't really understand the whole 'too cute for Haitian' thing because I have a couple friends from Haiti and they look fine.

A little deep for a first date, don't you think? Though it doesn't say specifically it was the first... Still, how incredibly rude and racist!
