Probably not.
Poland was partitioned into three by 'White European Empires' and then, after a few years of independence and six years of Nazi tyranny, subjected to oppressive Communist rule for decades. That doesn't seem to have stopped the Poles from being civilised, humane and enterprising.
Haiti has been an independent country, run by its own people for two hundred years.
Where would you prefer to live?
