But that's the point: It's not a reaction poverty. It's a reaction to a natural catastrophe that has caused untold suffering. It is this suffering that the international aid effort is trying to stem and alleviate. Not the poverty. That's a whole different topic.
To advocate that because they are black and poor, Haitians are "a herd that needs to be culled" and we should leave them alone to die of their injuries, thirst and starvation is a seriously ugly and pathetic viewpoint.
That's what I take issue with.
