People born to foreigners on haitian soil are not automatically haitian citizens due to the jus sanguinis (from latin 'right of blood') principle of nationality law. In addition to those of french descent, other white haitians are of german, polish, italian, spanish, english, dutch and american descent. In contrast, by 1763 the white population of french canada, a far larger territory, had numbered only 65,000. According to the 1788 census, haiti's population consisted of nearly 25,000 europeans, 22,000 free coloreds and 700,000 african slaves. The haitian revolution, which lasted from 1791 to 1804, was a determined struggle for equal rights for men of all races. Haitian people don’t exclude white haitians, if anything they are given preferential treatment everywhere they go. By 1804, the combined effect of thirteen years of uprisings, murder, and terrorism had destroyed the white population of haiti, along with all agricultural production and the economy of what was formerly the most prosperous colony in the western hemisphere. Haiti is a country with an unforgettable history and a wondrous culture, which one cannot fail to notice. To be fair, not all white people think of haiti as a “shithole country.” polish soldiers who went to fight against the uprising in haiti refused to lay a. It was, after all, the first nation to initiate empowerment among its colored people. Haiti's population is mostly of african descent (5% are of mixed african and other ancestry), though people of many different ethnic and national backgrounds have settled and impacted the country, such as poles (polish legion), jews, arabs (from the arab diaspora), chinese, indians, spanish, germans (18th century and world war i), italians, and french, most marrying into the majority black populace and in turn yielding mixed race children (many of whom are prominent in haitian society). If a white haitian feels excluded it is because they have chosen to separate themselves from other haitian people.
