Haiti and popular culture

With the earthquake so recently in Haiti, the country has been in the eyes of the world more than ever.

There was a discussion today at school with some of my co-workers, in which I referenced the Clueless speech class, and called the inhabitants of Haiti "Haiti - ans". I was quickly corrected by another teacher (he's a baby - only 24) on the proper pronunciation.

Am I seriously the only one who know that Cher calls them Haiti-ans in her speech?
