'God help us': Springfield Jamaicans mistaken for Haitians by 'aggressive' white woman

Hate against Haitians sparked by Republican running mates Donald Trump and J.D. Vance spilled over to the Jamaican community in Springfield, Missouri, this week.

In a post on Facebook, the Jamaican Patty Co. said an employee was confronted by an angry white woman who thought she was addressing Haitians.

"[W]e received a call from a disgruntled person regarding Haitians filing a lawsuit against the Trump/Vance ticket," the company explained. "Without identifying herself, she aggressively confronted us and mistaken us for Haitians and not Jamaicans."

The woman reportedly hung up before the restaurant could express a stance.

"The position we were about to take with her was, we as a company believe in standing up for what is right," the restaurant's posting said. "We do not condone misinformation or frivolous attacks on our neighbors, which we now know has given merit to this new lawsuit."

"The audacity of this misinformed person. We hope that this election cycle does not get too ugly. Let us treat people the way we would like to be treated. God help us."

Earlier this week, the leader of a Haitian group filed criminal charges against Trump and Vance after the men made claims about pets being eaten in Springfield, Ohio.
