Why do some Haitians and Jamaicans hate each other?

Answer 1

Haitians and Jamaicans, just like many other immigrants groups in the U.S, have tension because they see each other as competition. Much of the hype of hatred of any form is based on ignorance. Haitians and Jamaicans hate one another? This must be one of the most ridiculous things I have heard in a long time. This is just another form of island segregation, to keep (usually) people of colour separated. As once we are segregated, we cannot identify common grounds to enhance the productivity of our race (have we not been through enough). This is a bigger thing that Jamaican Vs Haitians, it is about attempting to support or bring about an illusion of inbred separation. I am sick and tired of unfounded statements. Growing up and being around both sets of people all my life, I have never seen such nonsense. My question is, who starts stating such unfounded facts? The thing is when people leave their home country and go to another, naturally they gravitate to others with a similar background, a natural instinct. It doesn't mean hate, all persons go to where they are comfortable.
