Where I live they are known for being rude and keep to themselves. But Today I walked by there Haitian only 7th day adventist church and they were double parking, screaming at other motorists, taking up whole sidewalks not making room for others, even bumping into an old lady.

Haitians have a very different culture than many other groups of people. Although they are not all rude, as I know many who are not, many come across that way to the majority of the world. We shouldn't make blanket generalizations about groups, however, I know what you mean and agree that Haitians can be a very obnoxious group to deal with (although I think they can also be very friendly and giving as well). They also have good food!

I know several Haitian Christians and have found them to be the opposite they do not happen to be 7th day adventists but are evangelical but I would be reluctant to stereotype 7th day adventists anyhow
The official religon of Hait became voodoo several years back
Segments of Haiti has been turning from Chrstianity in many ways and a very large segment is more given over to occult
but I hear some voodoo practicioners sometimes come to church to find a moment of peace and hopefully they also find love and respect and just maybe find Jesus

Haiti is chaotic place. What may appear rude to you may be absolutely normal to them. It take a generation or two for immigrant communties to acclimatize to their adoptive country's norms and traditions.
Its similar to how Europeans refer to "ugly Americans" when they visit them. They're not really being ulgy or rude, they're just being themselves which clashes with their host's culture sometimes.

Stereotyping one group based on the actions of individuals is rude.
