Haiti looks like a country to me.

You’d be correct; a country which suffered from colonialism by a European country; the effects of which continue today. Therefore, the effects of colonialism by at least one European country is still relevant.
You said colonialism by Europe isn’t relevant in the modern age.

So you’re claiming France currently owns Haiti?

Is there a definition of relevant that, for you, doesn’t include the impacts and effects of the thing in question?
Are you going to argue to me with a straight face that the only relevant aspects we should be concerned about with colonialism is whether ownership is current and active?
