I think Haitians are easy to recognize by y'all's nice cheeks/ cheekbones, big heads (no offence lol), and kinda upward turned eyes. Very beautiful :b41

All the haitians I seen were pretty except Kodak Black. Sometimes I wonder what genetically went left with him.

Only in your wildest dreams it does. I know it DOES hurt however to create a thread that you foolishly believed would create discourse and you instead opened yourself up to warranted criticism:disdain. Seethe on the ignore list sis. :glassescool

so what are you complaining about?

If I often skeptic vote or down vote your comments, it's because you often have a lot of shady sh!t to say about Haitians for someone who is not Haitian and has never participated in any positive or cultural thread about us

the only criticisms that matter are those of other Haitians and friends since you and many other in this thread are neither, so it doesn't matter

I’m half Haitian, and didn’t grow up with that side of my family. A few years ago, I got back in contact with my dad, and have been learning and digesting more. I have had this face for 30 plus years and know it inside out, but to suddenly recognize things you thought were inherently you as a commonality of your country men is very interesting. Slightly disorienting, but endearing overall.

last time I was in Haiti(2017), the African phenotypes varied a lot but I don't know regional African phenotypes that well to be able to tell.

I had no idea you were Haitian:neutral:

@Kenny cash you skeptic vote or down vote all my comments in every thread when it's completely uncalled for. What you mad about sis? Make a thread about that instead of stupid ass threads like this.

100 percent, born there, raised here since 8 years old.

I can't explain it, but as soon as I saw her I knew she was Haitian, there are a lot of Haitians from the south who mainly look like her like in Jérémie, Les Cayes, most people don't know that but Haitians did split up among tribes after the revolution, which is why each region tends to have some distinct reputation, appearance and attitude

it's the same way that I can recognize them as Haitians even among thousands of others however I could be wrong sometime though

Yes, these two women have a "haitian look" so does Garcelle Beauvais. But not limited to Haiti. Lots of people think I am Haitian or Dominican Rep. because of my full almond shaped eyes cheekbones and skin tone but I am from elsewhere. I take it as a compliment though.

Eg: St Lucians, JA's, Trinis have a particular look too.

I know, what country are you from?

many of us might related with specific tribes in Africa

Barbados....via earlier Cuban ancestry migration to there.
I came here as a little girl. Haitians have always come up to me and speak french/patois and are surprised that I am not Haitian. When I have my hair blown straight, Dominicans also come up to me and speak Spanish. Luckily, I can navigate around both languages.

They have mostly Lower Guinean DNA. 80-90% African on average. Their European is usually British and Irish based.

Thanks, really appreciated

do you know which tribes are the most common in Lower Guinea?

What is the common Haitian look? I'm ADOS but people often tell me that I look like I'm from Haiti, some even going as far to speak in creole to me. What does this mean???

Do you have a curvy body in the right places?



I think jessie woo is a good example of a Haitian look.

Curvy like this. The girl in the OP has a taller lean look. Almost like she is Senegalese

She looks like Oumi Janta to me. They have similar body types.

I am tall and lean. My body looks more like the girl in the video except I'm a little thicker.

I googled the people of Lower Guinea, Benin to be exact, and would say you are correct as to what Bajan facial features most resemble and they also are Yoruba.

We have almond shaped eyes and smaller noses as women I would say. Garcelle Beauvais and Jessi Woo are perfect examples.

Idk if there is a distinct Haitian look, relatively speaking.
I realized I can tell a Haitian from other Caribbeans easy but sometimes it’s hard for me to tell a Haitian from an African.

I always get excited sometimes when I run into what I think is Haitian (outside of FL and NY) and come to find out they’re African, from a Francophone country. The accent sounds similar.

TBH genetically Haitians are the closest African ancestors in the Western Hemisphere so this is not surprising. Some Haitians are lucky enough to be 99% African which is like unheard of for an ADOS.

I honestly don’t know what a common Haitian look is.

The Haitians I know range from looking like dark skin West Africans to Louisiana Creoles.

So, I really don’t know.

OP, can you identify with where your own people come from? Haitians come in a wide variety of skin tones. Plenty of Haitians that look like this.

it is not so easy but as Haitians were separated along the tribes following the revolution, we end up with some regions which tend to have a specific ancestry hence a specific look in terms of Features, for example i have the feeling that the women of Les Cayes in Haiti have a lot of Cameroonian ancestry because of a certain resemblance that I noticed in their appearances and that also includes the girl in my OP

also strangely people from the North Lartibonite region of Haiti seem to have the same kind of reputation in Haiti as the Igbo in Nigeria

and if I remember correctly Jessi Woo once said in an interview that her parents come from the Lartibonite region in Haiti and she's a perfect representation of the people from there.

I don't think Haitian have a common look but there's is a look that most ppl associate with Haitian like that comedian singer instagram girl Jessy Woo (is that her name)
They certainly do but you have to be Haitian yourself to spot it.

Your ancestors may have come from the same region(s) as ours so that may be why people confuse you for a Haitian.

I’m Haitian and no. I know we don’t have a typical look but when I think of Haitian women I think of this
