Unpopular opinion: Haitians are NOT Latinos

So this is a hill I’m willing to die on, but Haitians are not Latinos. I speak Spanish (I’m part Dominican), English (I’m American) and French (part of my American family is from New Orleans and speak French). Haitians do not speak French, they speak Kreyol. When I try to speak French to a Haitian person, there is a language barrier. So if we’re defining Latin America as countries within the americas that speak a Romance language, Haiti would not be included, as Kreyol (a mix of French and African languages) is not French. They have developed their own language and many of them ONLY speak Kreyol.
