<p>@Shrinkrap: Speaking as an immigrant myself, I think that I take the proliferation of classifications based upon skin color in Latin American and Caribbean culture for granted. Although the video didn’t discuss Haitian culture very much, there are lots of substrata amongst those considered “peasants” (paysans) and the bourgeoisie. America, I think, is not too different from the Latin American and Caribbean cultures when it comes to generating spurious differences amongst blacks based on skin color - the main twist comes into play when one considers that there is also a large Caucasian population as well.</p>
