It’s normal to feel empathy toward your fellow man, and normal as well to have stronger feelings of kinship toward people who are genetically similar to yourself and family. People are inclined to help people who remind them of themselves. Haiti’s best chance for civilization is to be conquered by us and converted to Christianity. And I would rather not bother.

I agree we should not bother because it would be a waste of time. The culture is bi-religious with voodoo and Catholicism important to their everyday lives.
I will dare to compare them to the Mexican indigenous when the Conquistadors arrived and introduced Christianity. The Padres converted many but couldn’t dispel the old ways completely.
This double standard still stands today with the culture of Mexico and many Native American cultures, as well. You can put the Lord into the culture, teach, build churches but 100% conversion doesn’t happen, as a general rule. Just my .02 cents worth.
FYI, Haitians are already overwhelmingly Christian.
