Associate Professor of African and African Diaspora Studies and French Régine Jean-Charles in a piece for MsMagazine blog comments on the clip of Judge Amy Coney Barrett describing her children and how we see Haiti. In her article entitled "Amy Coney Barrett's 'Happy Go Lucky' Haitian Children and the White Savior Narrative," Dr. Jean-Charles points out that Barrett's Black adopted children were only explained by "the sum of their trauma".  These descriptions troubled Dr. Jean-Charles, who is a feminist, a mother and a woman of Haitian descent.
