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
Kn0wledge123 tells us more.
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.

Maybe you shouldn't mention hardships from the get go. on the other hand though you did find out that she would have been a bad relationship. Sorry OP.

Well you don't have to know anything about genetics to know that it's illogical to assume everyone in Haiti is unattractive...

Racist bitch! You dodged a bullet on that one OP. She fits right in with the idiots that harass me over the origin of my grandparents and great-grandparents because I look to "exotic" to just be black American.
