From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During this time, the slaves and the affranchis were given limited opportunities toward education, income, and occupations, but even after gaining independence, the social structure remains a legacy today as the disparity between the upper and lower classes have not been reformed significantly since the colonial days. [1]

As a result, the elite class today consists of a small group of influential people who are generally light in color and continue to establish themselves in high, prestigious positions. [2]

I added more details on how the social structure (dictated by French colonialism) has still continued to leave a mark on Haiti today. The casta discrimination section of the article seemed to be lacking an explanation of what the social structure did to limit members of the lower classes. I believe is was important to include how the class differences have not significantly changed
