Hispaniola: A Tale of Two Countries T. Laman November 15, 1999 At the mere mention of the word Haiti, images of the “boat people” immediately come to mind. Because it was not so long ago that the newspapers and television stories captured the saga of hundreds of desperate people fleeing this very poor nation in shoddy boats and attempting to make the perilous journey to Miami and economic liberty. Haiti is a country on the western third of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Why did the Haitians become “boat people” and the Dominicans did not? Why are the Haitians so much poorer than the Dominicans?
The Chicano community did not have many “successful” role models, except their parents who were exploited in their jobs for long hours and little pay. And, because the Barrios brought a sense of respect to the marginalized Chicanos, some youth became attracted to the barrios.

The first Asians to come to the western hemisphere were Chinese Filipinos who settled in Mexico. Eventually, Filipino sailors were the first to settle in the U.S. around 1750 in what would later be Louisiana. Later around 1840, to make up for the shortage of slaves from Africa, the British and Spanish brought over slaves or "coolies" from China, India, and the Philippines to islands in the Caribbean, Peru, Ecuador, and other countries in South America. In addition to prospecting for gold in California, many Chinese also came as contract laborers to Hawai'i to work in sugarcane plantations.
