Some Haitian kids did better in school than some white kids. Some Haitians are doing better in business and jobs than some white people. So they are buying some things that some white people can't afford with the money they make from their jobs and business.

I think the term for the above isc what some describe as "being uppity".

There is and LBJ quote that is often posted here which describes it well also.
