The part that stood out to me from chapters 5-8 of Breath, Eyes, Memory was was when the narrator was saying “Many of the American kids even accused Haitians of having AIDS because they had heard on television that only the “Four Hs” got aids—Heroin addicts, Hemophiliacs, Homosexuals, and Haitians.” Which is a horrible quote but it reminded me of something I saw on Dominican tv many years ago. This was after the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 and the guy was saying something like “The reason why Haiti was hit with an earthquake was because Haiti is not a religious country, they believe in voodoo.” Which is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard but it was shocking to hear that people actually thought this way. The Dominican Republic and Haiti are not even that different anyway
